Abstract

When I originally agreed to accept the kind invitation to lecture at the NATO Summer School in Cargese, my topic was to be the theory of CP violation. The developments of the past year have resulted in growing interest in the theory of superstrings, a subject which is on the one hand extraordinarily exciting in the promise it holds for solutions of many of the outstanding problems of particle physics and on the other hand rather forbidding in the amount of new knowledge which needs to be acquired by the average theorist to understand the papers that are now being published on the recent developments. These considerations have persuaded me “in extremis”, to change the subject of my lectures.

  9. We have followed reference [1] so far. This form of Kähler potential was independently shown to arise in the analysis of so-called 16/16 supergravity models, cf. W. Lang, J. Louis and B. Ovrut, Univ. of Penn., preprint UPR-0280T (1985) and Karlsruhe preprint KA-THE P 85-2 (1985). See also earlier references to G. Girardi, R. Grimm, M. Muller and J. Wess, Z. Phys. C26 (1986) 123; C26 (1984) 427; Phys. Lett. 147B (1984) 81. It is interesting to speculate on which of these two paths is a more realistic approximation to superstring phenomena.
