Duality and higher derivative F - terms ⋆
We test the recently conjectured duality between N =2 supersymmetric type II and heterotic string models by analysing a class of higher dimensional interactions in the respective low-energy Lagrangians. These are F-terms of the form F g W 2g where W is the gravitational superfield. On the type II side these terms are generated at the g-loop level and in fact are given by topological partition f...
متن کاملLocalized Gravity and Higher Curvature Terms
We consider localization of gravity in smooth domain wall solutions of gravity coupled to a scalar field with a generic potential in the presence of the Gauss-Bonnet term. We discuss conditions on the scalar potential such that domain wall solutions are non-singular. We point out that the presence of the Gauss-Bonnet term does not allow flat solutions with localized gravity that violate the wea...
متن کاملAnisotropic higher derivative gravity and inflationary universe
Stability analysis of the Kantowski-Sachs type universe in pure higher derivative gravity theory is studied in details. The non-redundant generalized Friedmann equation of the system is derived by introducing a reduced one dimensional generalized KS type action. This method greatly reduces the labor in deriving field equations of any complicate models. Existence and stability of inflationary so...
متن کاملGeneralized natural boundary conditions for fractional variational problems in terms of the Caputo derivative
This paper presents necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for problems of the fractional calculus of variations with a Lagrangian depending on the free end-points. The fractional derivatives are defined in the sense of Caputo.
متن کاملLocalized Gravity with Higher Curvature Terms
In the intersecting brane configurations with any number n of extra dimensions, we obtain a localized gravity on the n orthogonal non-solitonic or solitonic (n+2)-branes in the presence of higher curvature terms. In the presence of such terms there would exist a non vanishing brane tension at the four-dimensional brane intersection of the (2 + n)-branes. The effective 4d Planck scale MP l is de...
