Journal ArticleDOI
Minimal Low-Energy Supergravity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use the renormalization group to relate parameters at the grand unification scale to their low energy values and show that renormalisation effects drive spontaneous breakdown of SU(2)×U(1) to U(1), for a top quark mass between 55 and 200 GeV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-Energy Supersymmetry
TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested that the scalar partners of quarks and leptons may get their masses through radiative corrections and that the breaking of the weak interactions also occurs through a radiative correction.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Structure of Gauge and Gravitational Anomalies
Luis Alvarez-Gaume,Paul Ginsparg +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the form of the gauge and gravitational anomalies in quantum field theories may be derived from classical index theorems, and the relation between various forms of the anomaly present in the literature is also clarified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theta functions, modular invariance, and strings
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the spin structure dependence of the chiral Dirac determinant on a Riemann surface is given by RiemANN's theta function, which was used to investigate the modular invariance of multiloop heterotic string amplitudes.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Introduction to T-Duality in String Theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a general introduction to T-duality is given, in the abelian case the approaches of Buscher and Roucek and Verlinde are reviewed, and some implications of the existence of duality on the cosmological constant and the definition of distance in String Theory are also suggested.
