Gaugino condensation is discussed in the context of a consistent new version of low energy heterotic M-theory. The four dimensional reduction of the theory is described, based on simple boson and fermion backgrounds. This is generalised to include gaugino condenstates and various background fluxes, some with non-trivial topology. It is found that condensate and quantised flux contributions to the four-dimensional superpotential contain no corrections due to the warping of the higher dimensional…

Reducing heterotic M-theory to five dimensional supergravity on a manifold with boundary

This paper constructs the reduction of heterotic M-theory in eleven dimensions to a supergravity model on a manifold with boundary in five dimensions using a Calabi-Yau three-fold. New results are…

Possible contributions to the bulk Casimir energy in heterotic M-theory

Some possible ways for the study of the contributions of some background fields to the bulk Casimir energy have been probed in the framework of the 5D heterotic M-theory.

I've Got the World on a Brane

This thesis treats several topics in the study of extra-dimensional models of the world, concerning Heterotic M-Theory and the dynamics of branes. We describe a reduction to five dimensions, over a…

A NON-SINGULAR CLOSED BOUNCING UNIVERSE WITHOUT VIOLATION OF NULL ENERGY CONDITION

A matter bouncing entropy-corrected cosmological model has been suggested. The model allows only positive curvature with negative pressure and no violation of the null energy condition. The result…

Big rip in Swiss-cheese Brane-worlds with cosmic transit

We study the big rip scienario in Swiss-cheese Brane-worlds. The results obtained have been found to be independent of the value of the cosmological constant Λ whether its positive, negative or zero.…

Note on dark energy and cosmic transit in a scale-invariance cosmology

In general, the laws of physics are not invariant under a change of scale. To find out whether the 'scale-invariance hypothesis' corresponds to nature or not, a careful examination to its…

We discuss the recently suggested Ricci–Gauss–Bonnet holographic dark energy in Chern–Simons modified gravity. We have tested some general forms of the scale factor [Formula: see text], and used two…

The possibility of a stable flat dark energy-dominated Swiss-cheese brane-world universe

In this paper, we study the possibility of obtaining a stable flat dark energy-dominated universe in a good agreement with observations in the framework of Swiss-cheese Brane-world cosmology. Two…

In this paper, we continue investigating the possible values of the pre-factors α$\alpha $ and β$\beta $ in the logarithmic corrected entropy-area relation based on cosmological stability arguments.…

Supersymmetry breaking with zero vacuum energy in M-theory flux compactifications.

It is shown that the warped flux compactification background in heterotic M theory can solve the problem of supersymmetry in vacua with zero vacuum energy through a warp-factor suppression of the integer flux relative to the condensate.
