The one-loop effective action (EA) for arbitrary supersymmetric theory with broken supersymmetry on the background Rb × Td−n, where Rn, Td are n-dimensional curved space-time and d-dimensional torus, is obtained. Vilcovisky-De Witt EA in d = 5 (super)gravity on the background R4 × T1 at nonzero temperature is calculated with accuracy to linear curvature terms. Vacuum energy for open and closed superstrings with broken supersymmetry on the background M4 × T6, where M4 is Minkowski space, is also obtained. The question of the possibility of spontaneous compactification in models under consideration is analyzed.

The One

The one-loop Vilkovisky effective potential which is not dependent on a gauge and a parametrization of quantum field, is investigated. We have considered Einstein gravity on a background manifold of (flat space) × (d−4- sphere) or × (d−4- dimensional torus ), d is even, and of R3 × (1- sphere ), where R3 is flat space. The numerical calculation for the cases R4 × Td−4 (d = 6,8,10) and R3 × S1 is done. The solution to the one-loop corrected equations of motion is found, although the spontaneous compactification is not stable in these cases.

First Time

For the first time we present the general formalism and results of calculation of the two-loop effective action in Einstein quantum gravity on the background MN × Tk, where MN is Minkowski space and Tk is a k-dimensional torus. We discuss the case of a zero cosmological constant as well as of a nonzero one. The method of calculating variations of the action on a metric tensor and the technique of calculating momentum integrals in dimensional regularization are presented. Some applications to spontaneous compactification are discussed, as well as some prospects.

This paper presents a discussion of the role of quantum effects in Kaluza–Klein theories. It is demonstrated why it is not possible to examine the existence of self-consistent solutions induced by quantum corrections to the classical theory if only the vacuum energy is used. The importance of the induced gravity and induced Yang–Mills terms in the effective action are emphasized. General criteria are given for the existence of self-consistent solutions in certain cases, and an expression is given for the gauge-coupling constant. Quantization of five-dimensional gravity with a cosmological constant is considered. Expressions are given for the constants that multiply the induced gravity and Yang–Mills terms in the one-loop effective action for this theory. Although the theory is one-loop finite, the necessity for performing finite renormalizations—a fact that has hitherto been overlooked—is discussed. Results of an analysis of the stability of self-consistent solutions are given, where it is shown why many of the solutions are unstable to small perturbations. A number of prospects for future work are given.

The one-loop effective action (the Casimir gravitational energy) of the aribitrary Einstein supergravity on the background [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the Minkowski space with non-zero temperature, Td is the d-dimensional torus, is calculated. The problem of quantum breaking of supersymmetry is discussed. The Vilkovisky-De Witt effective action in the D-dimensional Einstein gravity with the Λ-term on the background [Formula: see text] is found. An idea is expressed that a temperature phase transition in Kaluza-Klein theories is possible. For d=5 gravity, the Vilkovisky-De Witt effective action on the [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is four-dimensional curved space-time with non-zero temperature, is found.

Spontaneous Compactification

Spontaneous compactification – on a R1 × S1 background – in 2D induced quantum gravity (considered as a toy model for more fundamental quantum gravity) is analyzed in the gauge-independent effective action formalism. It is shown that such compactification is stable, in contradistinction to multidimensional quantum gravity on a RD × S1(D > 2) background – which is known to be one-loop unstable.
