Tamar Friedmann (Princeton University)
TL;DR
This paper investigates the structure of the moduli space in M-theory compactifications on specific G_2 manifolds, revealing multiple components that connect various classical gauge theory limits with different gauge groups and U(1) factors.
Contribution
It provides a detailed analysis of the quantum moduli space of M-theory on G_2 manifolds asymptotic to cones over quotients of S^3 x S^3, identifying multiple interconnected components.
Findings
The moduli space has several distinct components.
Each component interpolates between different classical gauge theories.
The components connect theories with varying gauge groups and U(1) factors.
Abstract
We study the moduli space of M-theories compactified on G_2 manifolds which are asymptotic to a cone over quotients of S^3 x S^3. We show that the moduli space is composed of several components, each of which interpolates smoothly among various classical limits corresponding to low energy gauge theories with a given number of massless U(1) factors. Each component smoothly interpolates among supersymmetric gauge theories with different gauge groups.
