Anomalous U(1) D-term contribution in type I string models

We study the D-term contribution for anomalous U(1) symmetries in type I string models and derive a general formula for the D-term contribution, assuming that the dominant source of supersymmetry breaking is given by the F terms of the dilaton, (overall) moduli, or twisted moduli fields. On the basis of the formula, we also point out that there are several features different from the case of heterotic string models. The differences originate from the different forms of the Kahler potential between twisted moduli fields in type I string models and the dilaton field in heterotic string models.ArticlePHYSICAL REVIEW D. 69(8):086004 (2004)journal articl

D-term Inflation and Nonperturbative Kahler Potential of Dilaton

We study the $D$-term inflation scenario with a nonperturbative K\"ahler potential of the dilaton field. Although the FI term which leads an inflationary expansion is given by the derivative of the K\"ahler potential with respect to the dilaton in heterotic string models with anomalous U(1), the too large magnitude is problematic for a viable $D$-term inflation. In this paper, we point out that the K\"ahler potential with a nonperturbative term can reduce the magnitude of FI term to desired values while both the dilaton stabilization and $D$-term domination in the potential are realized by nonperturbative superpotential.Comment: 13 pages, latex, 3 figure
