Aspects of Spontaneous N=2 -> N=1 Breaking in Supergravity
Jan Louis
We discuss some issues related to spontaneous N=2-> N=1 supersymmetry breaking. In particular, we state a set of geometrical conditions which are necessary that such a breaking occ…
Aspects of Heterotic/M-Theory Duality in D=3
Michael Haack, Jan Louis
We study the duality between M-theory compactified on Calabi-Yau fourfolds and the heterotic string compactified on Calabi-Yau threefolds times a circle. Our analysis is based on a…
The Supersymmetric Standard Model
J. Louis, I. Brunner, S. Huber
This set of lectures introduces at an elementary level the supersymmetric Standard Model and discusses some of its phenomenological properties. (Lectures given by J. Louis at the s…
Supersymmetry and Dualities in various dimensions
Bernard de Wit, Jan Louis
In these lectures we review how some of the recent developments in string theory are closely related to generic properties of supersymmetry. Lectures given at the Nato Advanced Stu…
Recent Developments in Superstring Phenomenology
Jan Louis
Recent developments in superstring phenomenology are summarized on a non-technical level. (Talk presented at the XXVIIth Rencontre de Moriond on Electroweak Interactions and Unifie…
