Moduli Kähler Potential for M-theory on a G2 Manifold

چکیده
We compute the moduli Kähler potential for M-theory on a compact manifold of G2 holonomy in a large radius approximation. Our method relies on an explicit G2 structure with small torsion, its periods and the calculation of the approximate volume of the manifold. As a verification of our result, some of the components of the Kähler metric are computed directly by integration over harmonic forms. We also discuss the modification of our result in the presence of co-dimension four singularities and derive the gauge-kinetic functions for the massless gauge fields that arise in this case. email: [email protected] email: [email protected]

Classification and Moduli Kähler Potentials of G2 Manifolds
Compact manifolds ofG2 holonomy may be constructed by dividing a seven-torus by some discrete symmetry group and then blowing up the singularities of the resulting orbifold. We classify possible group elements that may be used in this construction and use this classification to find a set of possible orbifold groups. We then derive the moduli Kähler potential for M-theory on the resulting class...
متن کاملA rigidity theorem for quaternionic Kähler structures
We study the moduli space of quaternionic Kähler structures on a compact manifold of dimension 4n ≥ 12 from a point of view of Riemannian geometry, not twistor theory. Then we obtain a rigidity theorem for quaternionic Kähler structures of nonzero scalar curvature by observing the moduli space.
متن کاملA New Mechanism of Kähler Moduli Stabilization in Type IIB Theory
We study the scalar potential in supersymmetric (orientifolded) Calabi Yau flux compactifications of Type IIB theory. We present a new mechanism to stabilize all closed string moduli at leading order in α ′ by consistently introducing fluxes. As usual we consider the dilaton and the complex structure moduli stabilized by turning on three-form fluxes that couple to the F-part of the scalar poten...
متن کامل2 Morse functions on the moduli space of G 2 structures Sung
The moduli space of complex structures on a compact Riemann surface of genus 1 or ≥ 2 can be identified with the deformation space of Riemannian metrics of constant curvature 0 or −1, while the latter definition natually gives rise to the Weil-Peterson metric. Let M be a compact manifold of domension 7 with an integrable G2 structure, i.e., a differential 3-form φ that satisfies dφ = 0, and d ∗...
