The effective action of the heterotic string compactified on manifolds with SU(3) structure
Iman Benmachiche, Jan Louis, Danny Martinez-Pedrera
We derive the N=1 effective action of the heterotic string compactified on manifolds with SU(3) structure in the presence of background fluxes. We use a Kaluza-Klein reduction and…
Couplings of N=1 chiral spinor multiplets
Jan Louis, Jacek Swiebodzinski
We derive the action for chiral spinor multiplets coupled to vector and scalar multiplets. We give the component form of the action, which contains gauge invariant mass terms for t…
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…
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…
