Dynamical Topology Change in M Theory
We study topology change in M theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau three-folds in the presence of G flux (the four form field strength). In particular, we discuss vacuum solutions in strongly coupled heterotic string theory in which the topology change is inevitable within a single spacetime background. For rather generic choices of initial conditions, the field equations drive the Kähler mod...
متن کاملDynamical SUSY Breaking in Heterotic M-Theory
It is shown that four-dimensional N = 1 supersymmetric QCD with massive flavors in the fundamental representation of the gauge group can be realized in the hidden sector of E8 ×E8 heterotic string vacua. The number of flavors can be chosen to lie in the range of validity of the free-magnetic dual, using which one can demonstrate the existence of long-lived metastable non-supersymmetric vacua. T...
متن کاملDynamical Dimension Change In Supercritical String Theory
We study tree-level solutions to heterotic string theory in which the number of spacetime dimensions 10+n changes dynamically due to closed string tachyon condensation. Taking the large-n limit, we compute the amount by which the dilaton gradient Φ,X0 changes during the condensation process. At leading order in n we find that the change in the invariant magnitude of Φ,X0 compensates the change ...
متن کاملDynamical Topology Change, Compactification and Waves in String Cosmology
Exact string solutions are presented, where moduli fields are varying with time. They provide examples where a dynamical change of the topology of space is occurring. Some other solutions give cosmological examples where some dimensions are compactified dynamically or simulate pre-big bang type scenarios. Some lessons are drawn concerning the region of validity of effective theories and how the...
متن کاملCompactification, topology change and surgery theory
We study the process of compactification as a topology change. It is shown how the mediating spacetime topology, or cobordism, may be simplified through surgery. Within the causal Lorentzian approach to quantum gravity, it is shown that any topology change in dimensions ≥ 5 may be achieved via a causally continuous cobordism. This extends the known result for 4 dimensions. Therefore, there is n...
