Induced gravity in Z_N orientifold models

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-10 v4

Abstract

We consider non-compact Z_N orientifold models of type IIB superstring theory with four-dimensional gravity induced on a set of coincident D3-branes. For the models with odd N the contribution to the one-loop renormalization of the Planck mass is shown to come only from the torus and to be O(N) as the contributions from annulus, Moebius strip and Klein bottle cancel. One can therefore realize the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati idea that four-dimensional gravity is induced by quantum effects at the one-loop level by considering large N.
