Strong coupling expansion of Calabi-Yau compactification
Open accessAbstract
Abstract In a certain strong coupling limit, compactification of the E8 × E8 heterotic string on a Calabi-Yau manifold X can be described by an eleven-dimensional theory compactified on X × S 1 / Z 2 . In this limit, the usual relations among low-energy gauge couplings hold, but the usual (problematic) prediction for Newton's constant does not. In this paper, the equations for unbroken supersymmetry are expanded to the first non-trivial order, near this limit, verifying the consistency of the description and showing how, in some cases, if one tries to make Newton's constant too small, strong coupling develops in one of the two E8's. The lower bound on Newton's constant (beyond which strong coupling develops) is estimated and is relatively close to the actual value.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
