Abstract
The motivation for CalabiโYauโlike compactifications of the weakly coupled E~8~ โ E~8~ heterotic string theory, its particle spectrum and the issue of dilaton stabilization are briefly reviewed. Modular invariant models for hidden sector condensation and supersymmetry breaking are described at the quantum level of the effective field theory. Their phenomenological and cosmological implications, including a possible origin for Rโparity, are discussed.

We consider generic N = 1 supersymmetric matter coupled to linearized N = 1 supergravity through the multiplet of currents. By completing the square, we find the effective action giving the leading supergravity induced correction to the matter dynamics, expressed explicitly as a quadratic form in th
