Journal ArticleDOI
A D-brane alternative to unification
TL;DR: In this paper, a minimal embedding of the Standard Model spectrum in a D-brane configuration of type I string theory is proposed, which is neither grand unified nor supersymmetric but leads to the right prediction of the weak angle for a string scale of the order of a few TeV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of magnetic vortices
TL;DR: In this paper, the canonical conservation laws of linear and angular momentum in the ferromagnetic continuum have been resolved by constructing conservation laws as suitable moments of a topological density, and the resulting canonical structure is then shown to be analogous to that encountered in the familiar Hall effect and explains the unusual features of the dynamics of magnetic vortices.
Journal ArticleDOI
D-branes and the Standard Model
TL;DR: In this paper, the Standard Model embedding in a D-brane configuration of type I string theory at the TeV scale was studied and several phenomenological questions, such as gauge coupling unification, proton stability, fermion masses and neutrino oscillations were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum instability of de Sitter space.
TL;DR: The graviton propagator in a de Sitter background is found to be divergent and it is shown that as a consequence of this divergence, de Sitters space is not a solution of the equations of motion of the complete theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
On supersymmetry breaking in superstrings
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the existence of a slightly massive or gravitino or gaugino in a class of gaussian string compactifications implies the presence of an entire tower of such states below M Planck.
