A Non-Perturbative Superpotential With $E_8$ Symmetry

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-04-07 v3

Abstract

We compute the non-perturbative superpotential in FF-theory compactification to four dimensions on a complex three-fold 1×S\P^1\times S, where SS is a rational elliptic surface. In contrast to examples considered previously, the superpotential in this case has interesting modular properties; it is essentially an E8E_8 theta function.
