摘要：

We investigate compactifications of M-theory from 11 --> 5 --> 4 dimensions and discuss the geometrical properties of 4D moduli fields related to the structure of 5D theory. We study supersymmetry breaking by compactification of the fifth dimension and find that a universal superpotential is generated for the axion-dilaton superfield S. The resulting theory has a vacuum with [S] = 1, zero cosmological constant and a gravitino mass depending on the fifth radius as M-3/2 similar to R-5(-2)/M-Pl. We discuss the phenomenological aspects of this scenario, mainly string unification and the decompactification problem. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
