Supersymmetry and Phenomenology of Heterotic and Type I Superstring Models | D. J. Clements
; | Date: |
12 Jul 2004 | Subject: | hep-th | Abstract: | This thesis is the discussion of heterotic and type I string phenomenology. The heterotic string model is based on the free--fermionic formalism. This is the first case where non--Abelian VEV’s, as opposed to singlet VEV’s are required for the cancellation of the Fayet--Iliopoulos term. It is noted that non--Abelian fields are the only fields that can give rise to the satisfaction of the D--flat constraints in this model. The type I models are based on T^6/Z_2x(Z_2)^s and T^6/Z_2xZ_2x(Z_2)^s compactifications. The first example has N=2 supersymmetry and includes a rank reduction of the D5 gauge groups as a result of using a freely acting Kaluza Klein shift Z_2^s. The second case is an N=1 model. One has a choice of sign epsilon=+/-1 from terms not related to the principle orbits by S and T transformations. This allows the breaking of supersymmetry with the introduction of antibranes. For epsilon=-1 there is a problem with respect to particle interpretation. I magnetize the T^6/Z_2xZ_2 model for the epsilon=-1 case. This leads to tadpole complications for the g and f twisted sectors, but allows the h twisted sector to behave normally. | Source: | arXiv, hep-th/0407091 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
