✦ Synopsis

We present a method for explicitly computing the non-perturbative superpotentials associated with the vector bundle moduli in heterotic superstrings and M-theory. This method is applicable to any stable, holomorphic vector bundle over an elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefold. Superpotentials of vector bundle moduli potentially have important implications for small instanton phase transitions and the vacuum stability and cosmology of superstrings and M-theory.

## Abstract Let __X__ be a nonsingular curve of genus 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We show that the moduli space of semistable rank two vector bundles with a fixed determinant of even degree on __X__ is isomorphic to the three dimensional projective space. We prove resu
