S-duality Constraints on Effective Potentials for Gaugino Condensation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We clarify the role of approximate S-duality in effective supergravity theories that are the low energy limits of string theories, and show how this partial symmetry may be used to constrain effective lagrangians for gaugino condensation.

Duality-Invariant Gaugino Condensation and One-loop Corrected Kähler Potentials in String Theory
The duality-invariant gaugino condensation with or without massive matter fields is re-analysed, taking into account the dependence of the string threshold corrections on the moduli fields and recent results concerning one-loop corrected Kähler potentials. The scalar potential of the theory for a generic superpotential is also calculated.
متن کاملGaugino Condensation, Loop Corrections and S-Duality Constraint
This talk is a brief review of gaugino condensation in superstring effective field theories and some related issues (such as renormalization of the gauge coupling in the effective supergravity theories and modular anomaly cancellation). As a specific example, we discuss a model containing perturbative (1-loop) corrections to the Kähler potential and approximate S-duality symmetry. Talk given at...
متن کاملGaugino Condensation , S - Duality and Supersymmetry Breaking in Supergravity Models
The status of the gaugino condensation as the source of supersymmetry breaking is reexamined. It is argued that one cannot have stable minima with broken supersymmetry in models where the dilaton is coupled only linearly to the gaugino condensate. We show that the problems of the gaugino condensate mechanism can be solved by considering nonstandard gauge kinetic functions, created by nonperturb...
متن کاملGaugino Condensation in the Chiral and Linear Representation of the Dilaton
String effective theories with N=1 supersymmetry in four dimensions are subject of the discussion. Gaugino condensation in the chiral representation of the dilaton is reviewed in the truncated formalism in the UK(1)-superspace. Using the supersymmetric duality of the dilaton the same investigation is made in the linear representation of the dilaton. We show that for the simple case of one gaugi...
متن کاملOn-Mass-Shell Gaugino Condensation in ZN Orbifold Compactifications
We discuss non-perturbative aspects of string effective field theories with N = 1 supersymmetry in four dimensions. By the use of a scalar potential, which is onshell invariant under the supersymmetric duality of the dilaton, we study gaugino condensation in (2, 2) symmetric ZN orbifold compactifications. The duality under consideration relates a two-form antisymmetric tensor to a pseudoscalar....
