On Flux Quantization In M-Theory And The Effective Action

Abstract

The quantization law for the antisymmetric tensor field of $M$-theory contains a gravitational contribution not known previously. When it is included, the low energy effective action of $M$-theory, including one-loop and Chern-Simons contributions, is well-defined. The relation of $M$-theory to the $E_8\times E_8$ heterotic string greatly facilitates the analysis.
