Pseudo-anomalous U(1) symmetry in the strong coupling limit of the heterotic string
arXiv:hep-th/9807079 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(98)01112-5
Abstract
We discuss, in the context of the strongly coupled E_8 \times E_8 heterotic string proposed by Horava and Witten, the appearance of anomalous U(1)_X symmetries of a nonperturbative origin, related to the presence, after compactification, of five-branes in the five-dimensional bulk of the theory. We compute the gauge anomalies and the induced Fayet-Iliopoulos terms on each boundary, which we find to be lower than the universal one induced in the weakly coupled case.
