When supersymmetry is spontaneously broken at the tree level, the spectrum of the heterotic string compactified on orbifolds of tori contains an infinite number of potentially tachyonic modes. We show that this implies instabilities of Minkowski space–time, when the scale of supersymmetry breaking is of the order of the string scale. We derive the phase space structure of vacua in the case where the tachyonic spectrum contains a mode with trivial momenta and winding numbers along the internal directions not involved in the supersymmetry breaking.

ABSTRACT Symplectic algorithms are widely used for long-term integration of astrophysical problems. However, this technique can only be easily constructed for separable Hamiltonian, as preserving the phase-space structure. Recently, for inseparable Hamiltonian, the fourth-order extended phase-space explicit symplectic-like methods have been developed by using the Yoshida’s triple product with a mid-point map, where the algorithm is more effective, stable and also more accurate, compared with the sequent permutations of momenta and position coordinates, especially for some chaotic case. However, it has been found that, for the cases such as with chaotic orbits of spinning compact binary or circular restricted three-body system, it may cause secular drift in energy error and even more the computation break down. To solve this problem, we have made further improvement on the mid-point map with a momentum-scaling correction, which turns out to behave more stably in long-term evolution and have smaller energy error than previous methods. In particular, it could obtain a comparable phase-space distance as computing from the eighth-order Runge–Kutta method with the same time-step.

Abstract. We consider particle motion in nonautonomous 1 degree of freedom Hamiltonian systems for which H(p,q,t) depends on N periodic functions of t with incommensurable frequencies. It is shown that in near-integrable systems of this type, phase space is partitioned into nonintersecting regular and chaotic regions. In this respect there is no different between the N = 1 (periodic time dependence) and the N = 2, 3, ... (quasi-periodic time dependence) problems. An important consequence of this phase space structure is that the mechanism that leads to fractal properties of chaotic trajectories in systems with N = 1 also applies to the larger class of problems treated here. Implications of the results presented to studies of ray dynamics in two-dimensional incompressible fluid flows are discussed.
