Renormalization of the Planck mass for type II superstrings on symmetric orbifolds
@article{Kohlprath2002RenormalizationOT, title={Renormalization of the Planck mass for type II superstrings on symmetric orbifolds}, author={Emmanuel Kohlprath}, journal={Journal of High Energy Physics}, year={2002}, volume={2002}, pages={026-026} }
We compute the one-loop renormalization of the Planck mass for type II string theories compactified to four dimensions on symmetric orbifolds that preserve = 2 supersymmetry. Depending on the orbifold, the effect can be as large as to compete with the standard tree-level value.
