We establish Einstein-Hilbert gravity couplings in the effective action for Intersecting Brane Worlds. The four-dimensional induced Planck mass is determined by calculating graviton scattering amplitudes at one-loop in the string perturbation expansion. We derive a general formula linking the induced Planck mass for N=1 supersymmetric backgrounds directly to the string partition function. We carry out the computation explicitly for simple examples, obtaining analytic expressions.

Induced gravity on intersecting brane worlds. II. Cosmology

We explore cosmology of intersecting brane worlds with induced gravity on the branes. We find the cosmological equations that control the evolution of a moving codimension-one brane and a…

Localized gravity in non-compact superstring models

We discuss a string-theory-derived mechanism for localized gravity, which produces a deviation from Newton's law of gravitation at cosmological distances. This mechanism can be realized for general…

One-loop Einstein-Hilbert term in minimally supersymmetric type IIB orientifolds

A bstractWe evaluate string one-loop contributions to the Einstein-Hilbert term in toroidal minimally supersymmetric type IIB orientifolds with D-branes. These have potential applications to the…

We calculate the first supersymmetric and kappa-symmetric derivative deformation of the M5-brane worldvolume theory in a flat eleven-dimensional background. By applying cohomological techniques we…

Propagators on one-loop worldsheets for supersymmetric orientifolds and intersecting branes

We obtain the one-loop propagators in superstring theory for the general case when the worldsheet fields satisfy non-trivial holonomy and/or boundary conditions. Non-trivial holonomy arises in…

Brane induced gravity, its ghost and the cosmological constant problem

Brane Induced Gravity is regarded as a promising framework for addressing the cosmological constant problem, but it also suffers from a ghost instability for parameter values that make it phenomeno…
