Fermion Masses in Superstring Theory

preprint1994arXivOpen access

Abstract

We give a model-independent discussion of fermion masses in four-dimensional heterotic superstring theories. We discuss the tree level contributions and quantum corrections, including one-loop threshold effects and masses generated as a result of non-perturbative supersymmetry breaking. We also point out that superstring models give rise to a generic μμ-term in the effective low energy Lagrangian.
