Moduli stabilization in heterotic M-theory

Understand

We reconsider the ingredients of moduli stabilization in heterotic M-theory.

• On this line we close a gap in the literature deriving the Kaehler potential dependence on vector bundle moduli and charged matter.
• Crucial in this derivation is our superspace formulation of 5d heterotic M-theory taking into account the Bianchi identities modified by brane terms.
• Likewise, we obtain the Fayet-Iliopolous terms due to brane localised anomalous U(1)'s.
