Vacua of M-theory and String Theory
We argue that supersymmetric higher-dimension operators in the effective actions of M-theory and IIB string theory do not affect the maximally supersymmetric vacua: adS4 × S 7 and adS7 × S 4 in Mtheory and adS5 × S 5 in IIB string theory. All these vacua are described in superspace by a fixed point with all components of supertorsion and supercurvature being supercovariantly constant. This foll...
متن کاملNon-Supersymmetric Stable Vacua of M-Theory
We present a non-supersymmetric compactification of M-theory down to seven dimensions which is close to a stable non-supersymmetric vacuum. This compactification is dual to a non-supersymmetric interacting conformal field theory in six dimensions. We argue that a given classical compactification of M-theory or string theory is close to a stable vacuum if it is dual to a conformal field theory w...
متن کاملThe statistics of string/M theory vacua
We discuss systematic approaches to the classification of string/M theory vacua, and physical questions this might help us resolve. To this end, we initiate the study of ensembles of effective Lagrangians, which can be used to precisely study the predictive power of string theory, and in simple examples can lead to universality results. Using these ideas, we outline an approach to estimating th...
متن کاملGeneralized Holonomy of M-theory Vacua
The number of M-theory vacuum supersymmetries, 0 ≤ n ≤ 32, is given by the number of singlets appearing in the decomposition of the 32 of SL(32,R) under H ⊂ SL(32,R) where H is the holonomy group of the generalized connection which incorporates non-vanishing 4-form. Here we compute this generalized holonomy for the n = 16 examples of the M2-brane, M5-brane, M-wave, M-monopole, for a variety of ...
متن کاملDe Sitter Vacua from Heterotic M-Theory
It is shown how metastable de Sitter vacua can arise from heterotic M-theory. The balancing of two inherent non-perturbative effects, open membrane instantons and gaugino condensation on the hidden boundary, which act with opposing forces on the interval length, lead in particular to a stabilization of this modulus. Supersymmetry is broken spontaneously in the resulting vacua. For rather small ...
