Compactification on non-symmetric six dimensional coset spaces with torsion

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

The equations of motion of a ten dimensional model based on the Chapline-Manton lagrangian, modified by higher derivative terms, are solved using six dimensional coset spaces with torsion. Minkowski space, anti-de Sitter, de Sitter and Einstein static cosmology with negative curvature are possible four dimensional cosmologies. In all case symmetry breaking schemesE 8×E 8→E 8×E 6 with chiral 27's ofE 6 can be obtained.
