Description
We compactify the M theory proposed by Horava and Witten on a Calabi-Yau manifold with a boundary S1/Z2. A no-scale-like Kaehler potential, the superpotential, and the gauge kinetic function are obtained in this four-dimensional E6xE8 model. We also study the general phenomenological consequences of the resulting M-theory-inspired model, which may include very light gravitinos, axions, and axinos. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society
