Splitting the superstring vacuum degeneracy
Description
A general method is presented for calculating the energy splitting of gauge field vacua to the one-loop level on compact, multiply-connected manifolds. Two explicit examples are given in which non-zero gauge vacua have the lowest energy, and the gauge group is spontaneously broken. (orig.)
