Mirage Pattern from the Heterotic String
Valeri Lowen, Hans Peter Nilles
We provide a simple example of dilaton stabilization in the framework of heterotic string theory. It requires a gaugino condensate and an up-lifting sector similar to the one postu…
Hidden sector axions: physics and cosmology
Hans Peter Nilles
Embedding hidden sector supergravity models in the framework of string theory leads to the appearance of axion-like degrees of freedom. Among them is the model independent axion of…
Localization and anomalies on orbifolds
S. Groot Nibbelink, H. P. Nilles
In this talk we discus some properties of supersymmetric theories on orbifolds in five dimensions. The structure of FI--tadpoles may lead to (strong) localization of charged bulk s…
Nonthermal production of gravitinos and inflatinos in the Inflationary Universe
Hans Peter Nilles, Marco Peloso
The success of primordial nucleosynthesis imposes stringent bounds on the abundance of gravitational relics. This is particularly true for gravitinos, which - for models with gravi…
The Cosmological Constant and the Brane World Scenario
Hans Peter Nilles
Although the cosmological constant has primarily cosmological consequences, its smallness poses one of the basic problems in particle physics. Various attempts have been made to ex…
On the low-energy limit of string and M-theory
Hans Peter Nilles
We discuss the possible applications of string theory for the construction of generalizations of the standard model of strong and electroweak interac…
