Instabilities in heterotic M-theory induced by open membrane instantons
We study the effective low energy supergravity of the strongly coupled heterotic string compactified on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold with generic E8 × E8 gauge bundle. We focus on the effective potential for the chiral scalars. The effective superpotential can be studied using the dual 11-dimensional M-theory background involving insertions of M5 branes along an interval. In such backgrounds, in some re...
متن کاملNon-Perturbative Superpotential from Membrane Instantons in Heterotic M-Theory
A formalism for calculating the open supermembrane contribution to the non-perturbative superpotential of moduli in heterotic M-theory is presented. This is explicitly applied to the Calabi-Yau (1, 1)-moduli and the separation modulus of the end-of-the-world BPS threebranes, whose non-perturbative superpotential is computed. The role of gauge bundles on the boundaries of the open supermembranes...
متن کاملInstantons, Assisted Inflation and Heterotic M-theory
We first investigate the attractor solution associated with Assisted Inflation in Heterotic M-Theory to see if it is stable. By perturbing the solutions we find a solitary stable fixed point with the general path through phase space dependent upon the Calabi-Yau data and the number of five-branes. We then go on to examine the effect of including non-perturbative corrections to the inflaton pote...
متن کاملDerivative F-Terms from Heterotic M-Theory Five-brane Instantons
We study non-perturbative effects due to a heterotic M-theory five-brane wrapped on Calabi-Yau threefold. We show that such instantons contribute to derivative Fterms described recently by Beasley and Witten rather than to the superpotential.
متن کاملInstantons and Solitons in Heterotic String Theory
This is a transcript of lectures given at the Sixth Jorge Andre Swieca Summer School in Theoretical Physics. The subject of these lectures is soliton solutions of string theory. We construct a class of exact conformal field theories possessing a spacetime soliton or instanton interpretation and present a preliminary discussion of their physical properties.
