Generalized string compactifications with spontaneously broken supersymmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
The Narain lattice construction of string compactifications is generalized to include spontaneously broken supersymmetry. Consistency conditions from modular invariance and Lorentz symmetry are solved in full generality. This framework incorporates models where supersymmetry breaking is inversely proportional to the radii of compact dimensions. The enhanced lattice description, however, might allow for models with a different geometrical or even non-geometrical interpretation.

Finite Soft Terms in String Compactifications with Broken Supersymmetry
We consider the role of supersymmetry breaking soft terms that are present in generalized Narain compactifications of heterotic string theory, in which local supersymmetry is spontaneously broken, with gravitino masses being inversely proportional to the radii of compact dimensions. Such compactifications and their variants, are thought to be the natural application of the Scherk-Schwarz mechan...
متن کاملDuality and Spontaneously Broken Supergravity in Flat Backgrounds
It is shown that the super Higgs mechanism that occurs in a wide class of models with vanishing cosmological constant (at the classical level) is obtained by the gauging of a flat group which must be an electric subgroup of the duality group. If the residual massive gravitinos which occur in the partial supersymmetry breaking are BPS saturated, then the flat group is non abelian. This is so for...
متن کاملPerturbative Supersymmetry Breaking in Orbifolds with Wilson Line Backgrounds
A way to break supersymmetry in perturbative superstring theory is the string version of the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism. There, the fermions and bosons have mass splitting due to different compactification boundary conditions. We consider the implementation of this mechanism in abelian orbifold compactifications with Wilson line backgrounds. For ZN and ZN ×ZM orbifolds, we give the possible U(1) ...
متن کاملde Sitter String Vacua from Kähler Uplifting
We present a new way to construct de Sitter vacua in type IIB flux compactifications, in which the interplay of the leading perturbative and non-perturbative effects stabilize all moduli in dS vacua at parametrically large volume. Here, the closed string fluxes fix the dilaton and the complex structure moduli while the universal leading perturbative quantum correction to the Kähler potential to...
متن کاملLarge Dimensions and String Physics at a Tev
Large extra dimensions, of size of order of TeV −1 ≃ 10 −16 cm, arise naturally in the context of supersymmetry breaking in string theory, while strings at a TeV scale offer a solution to the gauge hierarchy problem, as an alternative to softly broken supersymmetry or technicolor. In this short review, 2 we present consistent perturbative realizations of string theories with large volume compac...
