On cosmologically induced hierarchies in string theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose, within a perturbative string theory example, a cosmological way to generate a large hierarchy between the observed Planck mass and the fundamental string scale. Time evolution results in three large space dimensions, one additional dimension transverse to our world and five small internal dimensions with a very slow time evolution. The evolution of the string coupling and internal space generate a large Planck mass. However due to an exact compensation between the time evolution of the internal space and that of the string coupling, the gauge and Yukawa couplings on our Universe are time independent.

DEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY
The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...
متن کاملHierarchies from Fluxes in String Compactifications
Warped compactifications with significant warping provide one of the few known mechanisms for naturally generating large hierarchies of physical scales. We demonstrate that this mechanism is realizable in string theory, and give examples involving orientifold compactifications of IIB string theory and F-theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau four-folds. In each case, the hierarchy of scales is ...
متن کاملQuantum inhomogeneities in string cosmology
Within two specific string cosmology scenarios — differing in the way the preand post-big bang phases are joined — we compute the size and spectral slope of various types of cosmologically amplified quantum fluctuations that arise in generic compactifications of heterotic string theory. By further imposing that these perturbations become the dominant source of energy at the onset of the radiati...
متن کاملIntegrable hierarchies, dispersionless limit and string equations
The notion of string equations was discovered in the end of the eighties, and has been studied in the language of integrable hierarchies. String equations in the KP hierarchy are nowadays relatively well understood. Meanwhile, systematic studies of string equations in the Toda hierarchy started rather recently. This article presents the state of art of these issues from the author’s point of vi...
متن کاملOn the Uniqueness of String Theory
We show that bosonic strings may be viewed as a particular class of vacua for N = 1 superstrings, and N = 1 superstrings may be viewed as a particular class of vacua for N = 2 strings. Continuing this line of string hierarchies, we are led to search for a universal string theory which includes all the rest as a special vacuum selection.
