CP Violation and Moduli Stabilization in Heterotic Models 1

چکیده
The role of moduli stabilization in predictions for CP violation is examined in the context of four-dimensional effective supergravity models obtained from the weakly coupled heterotic string. We point out that while stabilization of compactification moduli has been studied extensively, the determination of background values for other scalars by dynamical means has not been subjected to the same degree of scrutiny. These other complex scalars are important potential sources of CP violation and we show in a simple model how their background values (including complex phases) may be determined from the minimization of the supergravity scalar potential, subject to the constraint of vanishing cosmological constant.

(Dated: April 8, 2008) We reconsider the origin of CP violation in fundamental theory. Existing string models of spontaneous CP violation make ambiguous predictions, due to the arbitrariness of CP transformation and the apparent non-invariance of the results under duality. We find an unambiguous modular CP invariance condition, applicable to predictive models of spontaneous CP violation, which ...
متن کاملBreaking CP and supersymmetry with orbifold moduli dynamics
We consider the stabilization of string moduli and resulting soft supersymmetry-breaking terms in heterotic string orbifolds. Among the results obtained are: formulae for the scalar interaction soft terms without integrating out the hidden sector gaugino condensate, which reduce to standard expressions in the usual “truncated” limit; an expression for the modular transformation of A-terms; a st...
متن کاملA ug 2 00 1 CP and Flavour in Effective Type I String Models
Effective type I string models allow stabilization of the dilaton and moduli fields with only a single gaugino condensate. We show that, as well as breaking super-symmetry, the stabilization can spontaneously break CP. We find that this source of CP violation hints strongly at a natural solution to the supersymmetric CP and flavour problems. Even though the CP violation generates physical phase...
