Non-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 کاملFive-Brane Superpotentials in Heterotic M-theory
The open supermembrane contribution to the non-perturbative superpotential of bulk space five-branes in heterotic M -theory is presented. We explicitly compute the superpotential for the modulus associated with the separation of a bulk five-brane from an end-of-the-world three-brane. The gauge and κ-invariant boundary strings of such open supermembranes are given and the role of the holomorphic...
متن کاملInstabilities 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 کاملSuperpotentials and Membrane Instantons
We investigate nonperturbative effects in M -theory compactifications arising from wrapped membranes. In particular, we show that in d = 4,N = 1 compactifications along manifolds of G2 holonomy, membranes wrapped on rigid supersymmetric 3-cycles induce nonzero corrections to the superpotential. Thus, membrane instantons destabilize manyM -theory compactifications. Our computation shows that the...
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...
