Abstract

We compactify the M-theory proposed by Horava and Witten on a Calabi-Yau manifold with boundary S1/Z2. A no-scale-like Kähler potential, the superpotential, and the gauge kinetic function are obtained in this 4-dimensional E6× E8 model. We also study the general phenomenological consequences of the resulting M-theory-inspired model, which may include very light gravitinos, axions and axinos.
