چکیده
We derive the explicit form, and discuss some properties of the moduli dependent effective potential arising from M-theory compactified on M 4 × X × S 1 /Z 2 , when one of the boundaries supports a strongly interacting gauge sector and induces gaugino condensation. We discuss the relation between the explicit gaugino condensate and effective superpotential formulations and find interesting differences with respect to the situation known from the weakly coupled heterotic string case. The moduli dependence of the effective potential turns out to be more complicated than expected, and perhaps offers new clues to the stabilization problem.

We study the possibility that supersymmetry is broken via a gaugino condensate in four dimensional string theories. We derive an effective low-energy theory describing the Goldstone mode associated with the Rsymmetry breaking driven by gaugino condensation and show that this gives a description of gaugino condensation equivalent, at tree level, to other effective Lagrangian approaches based on ...
متن کاملDestabilizing the gaugino condensate in modular invariant supergravity models
We investigate the stability of the hidden sector gaugino condensate in a SL(2,Z)-invariant supergravity model inspired by the E8⊗E8 heterotic string, using the effective chiral superfield formalism. We calculate the Planck-suppressed corrections to the “truncated approximation” for the condensate value and the scalar potential. A transition to a phase with zero condensate occurs near special p...
متن کاملDilaton Destabilization at High Temperature
Many compactifications of higher–dimensional supersymmetric theories have approximate vacuum degeneracy. The associated moduli fields are stabilized by non–perturbative effects which break supersymmetry. We show that at finite temperature the effective potential of the dilaton acquires a negative linear term. This destabilizes all moduli fields at sufficiently high temperature. We compute the c...
متن کاملSupersymmetry Breaking in Superstring Theory by Gaugino Condensation and its Phenomenology
The weakly-coupled heterotic string is known to have problems of dilaton/moduli stabilization, supersymmetry breaking (by hidden-sector gaugino condensation), gauge coupling unification (or the Newton’s constant), QCD axion, as well as cosmological problems involving dilaton/moduli and axion. We study these problems by adopting the point of view that they arise mostly due to our limited calcula...
متن کاملDynamical Supersymmetry Breaking in Standard-like Models with Intersecting D6-branes
We address dynamical supersymmetry breaking within a N = 1 supersymmetric Standard-like Model based on a Z2 × Z2 Type IIA orientifold with intersecting D6-branes. The model possesses an additional, confining gauge sector with the USp(2)A × USp(2)B × USp(4) gauge group, where the gaugino condensation mechanism allows for the breaking of supersymmetry and stabilizes moduli. We derive the leading ...
