abstract

In a certain strong coupling limit, compactification of the $E_8\times E_8$ heterotic string on a Calabi-Yau manifold $X$ can be described by an eleven-dimensional theory compactified on $X\times \S^1/\Z_2$. In this limit, the usual relations among low energy gauge couplings hold, but the usual (problematic) prediction for Newton's constant does not. In this paper, the equations for unbroken supersymmetry are expanded to the first non-trivial order, near this limit, verifying the consistency of the description and showing how, in some cases, if one tries to make Newton's constant too small, strong coupling develops in one of the two $E_8$'s. The lower bound on Newton's constant (beyond which strong coupling develops) is estimated and is relatively close to the actual value.

  1. EFT (String) Tower Building

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Assuming the Integral Scaling Relation and the Emergent String Conjecture, the Kähler potential fixes the UV tower spectrum, and every admissible degree-≤7 tower polytope is a slice of the M-theory G2 polytope.

  2. TransPlanckian Censorship on Dark Dimension Inflation

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    TransPlanckian Censorship forces dark-dimension inflation into a narrow one-dimension window with a pre-inflationary phase and suppresses tensor modes to r < 10^-10.

  3. The dark dimension, proton decay, and the length of the M-theory interval

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Proton decay limits force the M-theory interval in heterotic E8×E8 compactifications to be R ≲ 2.7×10^-28 m, ruling it out as a micron-sized dark dimension.
