Background Symmetries in Orbifolds with Discrete Wilson Lines
Target space symmetries are studied for orbifold compactified string theories containing Wilson line background fields. The symmetries determined are for those moduli which contribute to the string loop threshold corrections of the gauge coupling constants. The groups found are subgroups of the modular group P SL(2, Z) and depend on the choice of discrete Wilson lines and the shape of the under...
متن کاملMore about discrete symmetries in compactified string theories
We discuss discrete symmetries in several string compactification schemes. The same constraints on the light spectra as for Gepner models [1] are found in various cases for non-R symmetries. The analogous constraints for R symmetries are also established. Therefore it seems natural to conjecture that they always apply. In a previous paper we found constraints on the light spectra of string comp...
متن کاملWilson Lines and T - Duality in Heterotic M ( atrix ) Theory
We study the M(atrix) theory which describes the E8×E8 heterotic string compactified on S , or equivalently M-theory compactified on an orbifold (S/Z 2)×S, in the presence of a Wilson line. We formulate the corresponding M(atrix) gauge theory, which lives on a dual orbifold S × (S/Z 2). Thirty-two real chiral fermions must be introduced to cancel gauge anomalies. In the absence of an E8 × E8 Wi...
متن کاملSupersymmetry breaking on orbifolds from Wilson lines ∗
We consider five dimensional theories compactified on the orbifold S 1 /Z 2 and prove that spontaneous local supersymmetry breaking by Wilson lines and by the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism are equivalent. Wilson breaking is triggered by the SU (2) R symmetry which is gauged in off-shell N = 2 supergravity by auxiliary fields. The super-Higgs mechanism disposes of the would-be Goldstinos which are ab...
