چکیده
We study the phase transition between G-instantons and D3-branes quantitatively. A G-instanton is a classical solution to self-dual equation of M/F-theory three-form tensor field C in complex fourfold. This dual that ‘vertical’ small instantons 5-branes heterotic string. Using G as background gauge flux, we may dynamically control symmetry breaking connect different vacua F-theory. understand amount flux undergoing resulting number terms group-theoretical quantities. also discuss chirality change preservation anomaly freedom.

The Dynamics of Small Instanton Phase Transitions
The small instanton transition of a five-brane colliding with one end of the S/Z2 interval in heterotic M -theory is discussed, with emphasis on the transition moduli, their potential function and the associated non-perturbative superpotential. Using numerical methods, the equations of motion of these moduli coupled to an expanding Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime are solved including nonpe...
متن کاملPhase Transitions in M -theory and F -theory
Phase transitions are studied in M -theory and F -theory. In M -theory compactification to five dimensions on a Calabi-Yau, there are topology-changing transitions similar to those seen in conformal field theory, but the non-geometrical phases known in conformal field theory are absent. At boundaries of moduli space where such phases might have been expected, the moduli space ends, by a convent...
متن کاملLarge D-instanton effects in string theory
By reduction along the time direction, black holes in 4 dimensions yield instantons in 3 dimensions. Each of these instantons contributes individually at order exp(−|Q|/gs) to certain protected couplings in the three-dimensional effective action, but the number of distinct instantons is expected to be equal (or comparable) to the number of black hole micro-states, i.e. of order exp(Q). The same...
متن کاملNew Instanton Effects in String Theory
An important non-perturbative feature of string theory or M -theory compactifications which preserve only N = 1 supersymmetry in four dimensions is that fundamental string worldsheet or brane instantons can sometimes generate an effective superpotential for the light chiral superfields that describe the classical moduli of the background. Such a superpotential drastically alters the low-energy ...
متن کاملSpontaneous CP Violation Small Instanton & Invisible Axion
I propose a variant invisible axion model of spontaneous CP violation at the electroweak scale without CP domain-wall and ‘strong CP’ problems. Both large sized QCD and small sized non-QCD instantons break CP and Peccei-Quinn symmetries, and render cosmologically harmful CP domain walls unstable. The decaying epoch depends on size of small instanton effects, and is around 100eV if the current n...
