Localized anomalies in heterotic orbifolds
F. Gmeiner, S. Groot Nibbelink, H. P. Nilles +2
Recently spatially localized anomalies have been considered in higher dimensional field theories. The question of the quantum consistency and stability of these theories needs furt…
Brane induced supersymmetry breakdown and restoration
K. A. Meissner, H. P. Nilles, M. Olechowski
We investigate the phenomenon of brane induced supersymmetry breakdown on orbifolds in the presence of a Scherk-Schwarz mechanism. General consistency conditions are derived for ar…
Instabilities of bulk fields and anomalies on orbifolds
S. Groot Nibbelink, H. P. Nilles, M. Olechowski
Bulk matter modes of higher dimensional models generically become unstable in the presence of additional matter multiplets at the branes. This quantum instability is driven by loca…
Matching the BPS Spectra of Heterotic - Type I - Type I' Strings
D. Matalliotakis, H. P. Nilles, S. Theisen
We give a detailed discussion of the matching of the BPS states of heterotic, type I and type I' theories in d=9 for general backgrounds. This allows us to explicitly identify thes…
Supersymmetry Breaking and Soft Terms in M-Theory
H. P. Nilles, M. Olechowski, M. Yamaguchi
We investigate gaugino condensation in the framework of the strongly coupled heterotic string (M--theory). Supersymmetry is broken in a hidden sector and gravitati…
How to Reach the Correct sin^2θ_W and α_S in String Theory
H. P. Nilles, S. Stieberger
Effective theories with the matter content of the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model below the string scale M_string predict a wrong value for the weak--mixing angle sin^2θ_W an…
