Orbifold Compactifications with Continuous Wilson Lines
نویسنده
چکیده
We identify the untwisted moduli of heterotic orbifold compactifications for the case, when the gauge twist is realized by a rotation. The Wilson lines are found to have both continuous and discrete parts. For the case of the standard Z3 orbifold we classify all possibilities of breaking the gauge group E(6)⊗SU(3) by nine of the eighteen Wilson moduli and by additional discrete Wilson lines.

Target Space Duality in Orbifolds with Continuous and Discrete Wilson Lines
Duality symmetry is studied for heterotic string orbifold compactifications in the presence of a general background which in addition to the metric and antisym-metric tensor fields contains both discrete and continuous Wilson lines.

Orbifold compactifications with continuous Wilson lines have very interesting characteristics and as a consequence they are candidates to obtain realistic models. We perform an analysis of the soft supersymmetry-breaking terms arising in this type of compactifications. We also compare these results with those of orbifolds without including continuous Wilson lines. Their phenomenological propert...
متن کاملRegularisation Techniques for the Radiative Corrections of Wilson lines and Kaluza - Klein states
Using an effective field theory framework we reconsider the problem of radiative corrections from compact dimensions to the 4D gauge couplings. We evaluate the general structure of one-loop contribution from Kaluza-Klein states to the 4D gauge couplings, in models with one-and two-dimensional orbifold compactifications. The calculation includes the additional effect of a non-vanishing constant ...
متن کاملDiscrete Torsion and Gerbes I Eric
In this technical note we give a purely geometric understanding of discrete torsion, as an analogue of orbifold Wilson lines for two-form tensor field potentials. In order to introduce discrete torsion in this context, we describe gerbes and the description of certain type II supergravity tensor field potentials as connections on gerbes. Discrete torsion then naturally appears in describing the...
