A “Periodic Table” for Supersymmetric M-Theory Compactifications
We develop a systematic method for classifying supersymmetric orbifold compactifications of M-theory. By restricting our attention to abelian orbifolds with low order, in the special cases where elements do not include coordinate shifts, we construct a “periodic table” of such compactifications, organized according to the orbifolding group (order ≤ 12) and dimension (up to 7). An intriguing con...
متن کاملCompactifications of M-theory
We discuss Poincaré three-brane solutions in D = 5 M-Theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau (CY) threefolds with G-fluxes. We show that the vector moduli freeze at an attractor point. In the case with background flux only, the spacetime geometry contains a zero volume singularity with the three-brane and the CY space shrinking simultaneously to a point. This problem can be avoided by including ...
متن کاملSuperpotentials from flux compactifications of M-theory
In flux compactifications of M-theory a superpotential is generated whose explicit form depends on the structure group of the 7-dimensional internal manifold. In this note, we discuss superpotentials for the structure groups: G2, SU(3) or SU(2). For the G2 case all internal fluxes have to vanish. For SU(3) structures, the non-zero flux components entering the superpotential describe an effectiv...
متن کاملAccelerating cosmologies from M/String theory compactifications
We point out that the solution of (4 + n)-dimensional gravity coupled to the dilaton and an n-form field strength can give rise to a flat 4-dimensional universe (with a scale factor) of the type proposed recently under time dependent compactifications. The compact internal spaces could be hyperbolic, flat or spherical and the solution is identical to the space-like two brane or S2-brane. We sho...
متن کاملWarped Compactifications in M and F Theory
We study M and F theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau four-folds in the presence of nontrivial background flux. The geometry is warped and belongs to the class of p-brane metrics. We solve for the explicit warp factor in the orbifold limit of these compactifications, compare our results to some of the more familiar recently studied warped scenarios, and discuss the effects on the low-energy t...
