Supersymmetry and finite-temperature strings
I. Bakas, A. Bilal, J. -P. Derendinger +1
We describe finite temperature N=4 superstrings in D=5 by an effective four-dimensional supergravity of the thermal winding modes that can become tachyonic and trigger the instabil…
M-Theory N=1 Effective Supergravity in Four Dimensions
J. -P. Derendinger, R. Sauser
We present a general `off-shell' description of the effective N=1 supergravity describing the low-energy limit of M-theory compactified on (Calabi-Yau) x S1/Z2. In our formulation,…
Non-perturbative Supersymmetry Breaking and Finite Temperature Instabilities in N=4 Superstrings
I. Antoniadis, J. -P. Derendinger, C. Kounnas
We obtain the non-perturbative effective potential for the dual five-dimensional N=4 strings in the context of finite-temperature regarded as a breaking of supersymmetry into four…
On the Relation between Wilson Action and CJT Effective Action
Giovanni Amelino-Camelia, Jean-Pierre Derendinger
A relation between Wilson action and the Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis effective action, which was recently suggested by Periwal, is here derived using path-integral techniques.
Gaugino condensation with a linear multiplet
Jean-Pierre Derendinger
An effective lagrangian analysis of gaugino condensation is performed in a supersymmetric gauge theory with field-dependent gauge couplings described with a linear multiplet. An or…
The Linear Multiplet and Quantum String Effective Actions
J. -P. Derendinger
Quantum symmetries of four-dimensional superstrings are frequently realized in an anomaly-cancellation mode in the effective low-energy supergravity. The massless antisymmetric ten…
