A One-Loop Test of String Duality
نویسنده
چکیده
We test type IIA-heterotic string duality in six dimensions by showing that the sigma model anomaly of the heterotic string is generated by a combination of a tree level and a string one-loop correction on the type IIA side.

Eleven Dimensional Origin of String/string Duality: a One Loop Test
Membrane/fivebrane duality in D = 11 implies Type IIA string/Type IIA fivebrane duality in D = 10, which in turn implies Type IIA string/heterotic string duality in D = 6. To test the conjecture, we reproduce the corrections to the 3-form field equations of the D = 10 Type IIA string (a mixture of tree-level and one-loop effects) starting from the Chern-Simons corrections to the 7-form Bianchi ...
متن کامل1 Boundary String Field Theory at One - loop
We apply the boundary string field theory (BSFT) to a unstable D-brane system to study the open-closed string duality at one loop in the presence of the tachyon condensation. The partition function at one-loop level is calculated by using both open and closed string channels. We find that the results from two different channels coincide, thus the open-closed string duality holds even off-shell.
متن کاملDuality-Invariant Gaugino Condensation and One-loop Corrected Kähler Potentials in String Theory
The duality-invariant gaugino condensation with or without massive matter fields is re-analysed, taking into account the dependence of the string threshold corrections on the moduli fields and recent results concerning one-loop corrected Kähler potentials. The scalar potential of the theory for a generic superpotential is also calculated.
متن کاملmulti-instanton and string-loop corrections in toroidal orbifold models
The low energy limit of String Theory compactified to four dimensions is often described in terms of an effective supergravity which generically develops classical flat directions. Understanding the leading corrections from string loops and non-perturbative effects is therefore crucial for addressing questions such as moduli stabilization, supersymmetry breaking or cosmological evolution in the...
متن کاملA ug 2 00 7 The D 4 R 4 term in type IIB string theory on T 2 and U – duality
We propose a manifestly U–duality invariant modular form for the D4R4 interaction in type IIB string theory compactified on T 2. It receives perturbative contributions upto two loops, and non–perturbative contributions from D–instantons and (p, q) string instantons wrapping T 2. We provide evidence for this modular form by showing that the coefficients at tree level and at one loop precisely ma...
