Description
A feature of the low energy theories of certain string models is the existence of a
shift-symmetry in the Kähler potential at tree level. In this talk I will consider the fate of this shift-symmetry at one-loop and show that while it does not generally hold at this order, there is a certain limit of compactification where the symmetry is restored. I will then argue why we expect this restoration to hold to all orders in perturbation theory.
