Abstract
If global supersymmetry is broken by gaugino condensation in the hidden sector of the [Formula: see text] heterotic superstring theory after compactification, then the auxiliary field FBof the modulus B ≡ (Br, Bi) attains a finite value, while that of the dilaton A ≡ (Ar, Ai) vanishes, FA= 0, the Goldstone fermion being the modulino [Formula: see text], the spin-½ component of the complex chiral supermultiplet [Formula: see text]. The Goldstone boson of the scale symmetry that is broken when the radius of the internal space is fixed at a constant value is Br, which is determined from the goldstino Lagrangian, compared term by term with the superstring Lagrangian, including higher-derivative gravitational terms [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], after linking the space–time curvature to the energy–momentum tensor of the goldstino via the Einstein equations. This non-linear formulation of supersymmetry, due to Volkov and Akulov, is expressed in terms of the goldstino alone, whose Lagrangian contains a negative cosmological constant, which can be cancelled by the super-Higgs mechanism of Deser and Zumino to make the gravitino massive and break supersymmetry at the level [Formula: see text] GeV, while [Formula: see text]. Here, the modulus has been scaled to the Hagedorn value for the heterotic superstring theory, [Formula: see text], and Ar, identified with the inverse square of the tree-level gauge coupling, has been scaled to the calculation in the minimal supersymmetric standard model due to Weinberg, that g-2= 1.39 at the unification mass MX= 2.2 × 1016GeV, assuming three generations of elementary particles and two Higgs doublets. In the presence of gravitino condensation in the internal space, however, there is an arbitrary additional contribution to the cosmological constant, facilitating reduction of msto ~ 100 TeV, say, and m3/2to ~ 1 eV.
