A Five-brane Modulus in the Effective N=1 Supergravity of M-Theory
arXiv:hep-th/0009054 · doi:10.1016/S0550-3213(00)00773-2
Abstract
Five-branes lead in four dimensions to massless N=1 supermultiplets if M-theory is compactified on S1/Z2 x (a Calabi-Yau threefold). One of them describes the modulus associated with the position of the five-brane along the circle S1. We derive the effective four-dimensional supergravity of this multiplet and its coupling to bulk moduli and to Yang-Mills and charged matter multiplets located on Z2 fixed planes. The dynamics of the five-brane modes is obtained by reduction and supersymmetrization of the covariant five-brane bosonic action. Our construction respects all symmetries of M-theory, including the self-duality of the brane antisymmetric tensor. Corrections to gauge couplings are strongly constrained by this self-duality property. The brane contribution to the effective scalar potential is formally similar to a renormalization of the dilaton. The vacuum structure is not modified. Altogether, the impact of the five-brane modulus on the effective supergravity is reminiscent of string one-loop corrections produced by standard compactification moduli.
