Title: Supersymmetry restoration in the compactified O(16) ⊗ O (16)' heterotic string theory
Abstract: We consider twisted compactifications of the O(16) ⊗ O(16)' heterotic string from ten to nine dimensions. We construct a model that interpolates between the O(16) ⊗ O(16)' model at large radii of the compact dimension, and the spontaneously broken E8⊗E'8 heterotic superstring at small radii. Further compactification leads to a four-dimensional model with an exponentially suppressed one-loop cosmological constant at small radii. The notion of duality between strings at small and large radii of the compact dimensions is clarified.
