D-Instanton Corrections as (p,q)-String Effects and Non-Renormalization Theorems
Alexandros Kehagias, Herve Partouche
We discuss higher derivative interactions in the type IIB superstring in ten dimensions. From the fundamental string point of view, the non-perturbative corrections are due to D-in…
On the exact quartic effective action for the type IIB superstring
A. Kehagias, H. Partouche
We propose a four-point effective action for the graviton, antisymmetric two-forms, dilaton and axion of type IIB superstring in ten dimensions. It is explicitly SL(2,Z)-invariant…
Lectures on Heterotic-Type I Duality
I. Antoniadis, H. Partouche, T. R. Taylor
We present a review of heterotic-type I string duality. In particular, we discuss the effective field theory of six- and four-dimensional compactifications with N>1 supersymmetries…
Duality of N=2 Heterotic -- Type I Compactifications in Four Dimensions
I. Antoniadis, H. Partouche, T. R. Taylor
We discuss type I -- heterotic duality in four-dimensional models obtained as a Coulomb phase of the six-dimensional U(16) orientifold model compactified on T^2 with arbitrary SU(1…
Partial Spontaneous Breaking of Global Supersymmetry
H. Partouche, B. Pioline
We review in detail the recently discovered phenomenon of partial spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry in the case of a N=2 pure gauge U(1) theory, and recall how the standard lor…
