Superstrings from Supergravity
We study the origins of the five ten–dimensional “matrix superstring” theories, supplementing old results with new ones, and find that they all fit into a unified framework. In all cases the matrix definition of the string in the limit of vanishingly small coupling is a trivial 1+1 dimensional infra–red fixed point (an orbifold conformal field theory) characterized uniquely by matrix versions o...
متن کاملMore Superstrings from Supergravity
The four six–dimensional “little string” theories are all described in the infinite momentum frame (IMF) as matrix theories by non–trivial 1+1 dimensional infra–red fixed points. We characterize these fixed points using supergravity. Starting from the matrix theory definition of M5–branes, we derive an associated dual supergravity description of the fixed point theories, arising as the near hor...
متن کاملInflation, supergravity, and superstrings.
The positive potential energy required for inflation spontaneously breaks supersymmetry and in general gives any would-be inflaton an effective mass of order the inflationary Hubble parameter thus ruling it out as an inflaton. In this paper I give simple conditions on the superpotential that eliminate some potential sources for this mass, and derive a form for the Kähler potential that eliminat...
متن کاملLarge dark matter cross sections from supergravity and superstrings
We study the direct detection of supersymmetric dark matter in the light of recent experimental results. In particular, we show that regions in the parameter space of several scenarios with a neutralino-nucleon cross section of the order of 10 pb, i.e., where current dark matter detectors are sensitive, can be obtained. These are supergravity scenarios with intermediate unification scale, and s...
متن کاملSupergravity solitons and non-perturbative superstrings
Heterotic and type II superstrings have, when toroidally-compactified to D=4, N=4 and N=8 supersymmetry, respectively. The (generic) effective N=4 or N=8 supergravity theory has, in both cases, 28 U(1) gauge fields and hence particles in the spectrum may carry any of 56 electric or magnetic charges; we may therefore associate to each particle in the spectrum a charge 56-vector Z. In perturbatio...
