Gravitational effects on and of vacuum decay
It is possible for a classical field theory to have two stable homogeneous ground states, only one of which is an absolute energy minimum. In the quantum version of the theory, ...
Compactification for a three-brane universe
A fully realistic and systematic effective field theory model of a 3-brane\nuniverse is constructed. It consists of a six-dimensional gravitating\nspacetime, containing several,...
Cosmological constant and asymmetric orbifolds
We propose and study a compactification of the heterotic string on an asymmetric orbifold that leads to a zero cosmological constant in four dimensions even when 〈W〉≠0.Received ...
Some remarks on theories with large compact dimensions and TeV-scale quantum gravity
We comment on some implications of theories with large compactification radii\nand TeV-scale quantum gravity. These include the behavior of high-energy\ngravitational scattering...
Nonrenormalization Theorems in Superstring Theory
A simple proof of the nonrenormalization theorems in string theory is given. We prove (with the assumption that space-time supersymmetry is nonanomalous) that the space-time sup...
