4 v 1 3 S ep 1 99 7 The Supersymmetric Particle Spectrum in Orbifold Compactifications of String Theory

چکیده
The supersymmetry breaking parameters and the resulting supersymmetric particle spectrum are studied in orbifold compactifications of string theory under the assumption that unification of gauge coupling constants at about 10 16 GeV is a consequence of large moduli dependent string loop threshold corrections. The effect on the spectrum of various assumptions as to the modular weights of the states, the values of the Green-Schwarz parameter, δ GS , the origin of the µ parameter and the moduli dependence of Yukawa couplings is discussed. The effect of radiative corrections to the effective potential is also considered.

Heterotic M – Theory Vacua with Five – Branes ∗
We construct vacua of heterotic M–theory with general gauge bundles and five–branes. Some aspects of the resulting low–energy effective theories are discussed. M–theory on the orbifold S/Z2 is believed to describe the strong coupling limit of the E8 × E8 heterotic string [1] and, therefore, constitutes a particularly interesting starting point for M–theory particle phenomenology. At low energy,...

There has been some confusion concerning the number of (1, 1)-forms in orbifold compactifications of the heterotic string in numerous publications. In this note we point out the relevance of the underlying torus lattice on this number. We answer the question when different lattices mimic the same physics and when this is not the case. As a byproduct we classify all symmetric Z N-orbifolds with ...

We review several topics of interest in the study of 4d N=1 supersymmetric compactifications of the heterotic string. After a brief introduction to the construction of such models, our focus is on the novel physics which occurs at singularities in the moduli space of vacua. Among the phenomena we discuss are nonperturbative superpotentials, dynamical generation of poles in various low-energy co...

We report on a search for N = 2 heterotic strings that are dual candidates of type II compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds described as K3 fibrations. We find many new heterotic duals by using standard orbifold techniques. The associated type II compactifications fall into chains in which the proposed duals are heterotic compactifications related one another by a sequential Higgs mechanis...
