abstract

We investigate the field dependence of the gauge couplings of $N=1$ string vacua from the point of view of the low energy effective quantum field theory. We find that field-theoretical considerations severely constrain the form of the string loop corrections; in particular, the dilaton dependence of the gauge couplings is completely universal at the one-loop level. The moduli dependence of the string threshold corrections is also constrained, and we illustrate the power of such constraints with a detailed discussion of the orbifold vacua and the $(2,2)$ (Calabi-Yau) vacua of the heterotic string.

  1. Quadratic Axion Couplings in String Theory

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Quadratic axion–gauge couplings θ²F² arise ubiquitously in string theory from classical, perturbative, and non-perturbative sources, with benchmark sizes often exceeding the QCD axion’s loop-induced coupling.

  2. The Fundaments of Unity: ${\mathcal O}(1)$ Couplings in Quantum Field Theories

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Modeling O(1) couplings as IID random variables yields a spread distribution with fat power-law tails that widen with the number of couplings, including a 0.29 probability of spread exceeding 100 for 20 unit-normal draws.

  3. Thermal effects and finite-temperature cosmology in perturbatively stabilized large volume scenarios

    Examines thermal effects on moduli in perturbatively stabilized LVS, deriving T_max dependence on loop corrections and showing thermal metastability is sensitive to post-inflationary history while favoring high-scale ...
