Scattering of Macroscopic Heterotic Strings

چکیده
We show that macroscopic heterotic strings, formulated as strings which wind around a compact direction of finite but macroscopic extent, exhibit non-trivial scattering at low energies. This occurs at order velocity squared and may thus be described as geodesic motion on a moduli space with a non-trivial metric which we construct. Our result is in agreement with a direct calculation of the string scattering amplitude.

Macroscopic Charged Heterotic String
Classical solutions of equations of motion in low energy effective field theory, describing fundamental charged heterotic string, are found. These solutions automatically carry an electric current equal to the charge per unit length, and hence are accompanied by both, electric and magnetic fields. Force between two parallel strings vanish due to cancellation between electric and magnetic forces...
متن کاملOn Open Membranes, Cosmic Strings and Moduli Stabilization
We discuss how cosmic strings can be created in heterotic M-theory compactifications with stable moduli. We conclude that the only appropriate candidates seem to be fundamental open membranes with a small length. In four dimensions they will appear as strings with a small tension. We make an observation that, in the presence of the vector bundle moduli, it might be possible to stabilize a five-...
متن کاملSuperstring Dominated Early Universe and Epoch Dependent Gauge Coupling
We have explored the possibility that the universe at very early stage was dominated by (macroscopic) heterotic strings. We have found that the dimensionless parameter Gμ for the heterotic strings varies from 10−2 to 10−4 as the universe evolve from the matter dominance to radiation dominance. This led to the interesting consequence of epoch dependent gauge coupling constant. The gauge coupling...
متن کاملCharged stringlike solutions of low-energy heterotic string theory.
Two string-like solutions to the equations of motion of the low-energy effective action for the heterotic string are found, each a source of electric and magnetic fields. The first carries an electric current equal to the electric charge per unit length and is the most general solution which preserves one half of the supersymmetries. The second is the most general charged solution with an event...

We show that polarization dependent string-string scattering provides new evidence for the identification of the Dabholkar-Harvey (DH) string solution with the heterotic string itself. First, we construct excited versions of the DH solution which carry arbitrary leftmoving waves yet are annihilated by half the supersymmetries. These solutions correspond in a natural way to Bogomolny-bound-satur...
