TL;DR: This biennial Review summarizes much of particle physics, using data from previous editions.

12,798 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The Bekenstein-Hawking area entropy relation S BH = A 4 was derived for a class of five-dimensional extremal black holes in string theory by counting the degeneracy of BPS solition bound states.

3,497 citations



Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss non-trivial fixed points of the renormalization group with dual descriptions in N = 4 gauge theories in three dimensions and show that small E8 instantons in string theory are described by a local quantum field theory.

868 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that many of the p -branes of type II string theory and d = 11 supergravity can have boundaries on other p-branes, and the rules for when this can and cannot occur are derived from charge conservation.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the CP violation in the decays of heavy electroweak singlet neutrinos arising from both the one-loop vertex corrections and the wave function mixing was investigated.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the metric on the Coulomb branch exactly and used stringy considerations to learn about new non-trivial interacting field theories with exceptional global symmetry En (E8, E7, E6, E5 = Spin(10), E4 = SU(5), E3 = SU (3) × SU (2), E2 = SU 2 × U (1) and E(1 = SU 1 ).

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, Ferrara, Kallosh and the author derived a universal formula for the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy in terms of the charges and the moduli space geometry at X Λ ( q ( m, q ( e ) ).

Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate field theories defined on spaces with non-commutative coordinates corresponding to deformations of flat spaces as e.g. the Euclidean plane or Minkowski space.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, effective supersymmetry is presented as a theory of physics above the electroweak scale which has significant theoretical advantages over both the standard model and the minimal supersymmetric standard model.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the dipole formalism is used to construct a general algorithm for next-to-leading order calculations of arbitrary jet quantities in arbitrary processes, and the basic ideas behind the algorithm are presented and illustrated with a simple example.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a perturbative QCD approach to the analysis of the deeply virtual Compton scattering process is presented, where the authors show that the DVCS amplitude in this limit exhibits a scaling behavior described by a two-argument distribution F(x,y) which specifies the fractions of the initial momentum p and the momentum transfer r.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, Lorentz-invariant expectation values for antisymmetric tensor field strengths in Calabi-Yau compactification of IIA string theory are considered.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors calculate the semiclassical phase shift (δ) as a function of impact parameter (b) and velocity (ν) when one D-brane moves past another.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the contribution of the three-loop non-planar triplescross diagrams contributing to the electron (g−2) in QED; their value, omitting the already known infrared divergent part, is a e (3−cross)= α π 3 83 72 π 2 e(3)− 215 24 e(5)+ 100 3.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the Dirichlet super 2-brane is interpreted as a Dbrane of an open eleven-dimensional supermembrane and its coupling to background spacetime fields is shown.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the curvature of moduli and all other flat directions during an inflation can depend on their gauge charges and not only on the curvatures of all the scalar fields but also on the inflaton curvatures.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors collected the various pieces of information concerning the relative size of mu, md and ms, which constrains the mass ratios to a rather narrow range: mu/md = 0.553 ± 0.043, ms/md=18.9 ± 0.8.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a duality between type IIB superstring theory on R 9 × S1 and a conjectured 11D fundamental theory (M theory) was investigated and simple heuristic reasoning leads to a consistent picture relating the various p-branes and their tensions in each theory.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, Sen showed that the perturbations around the enhanced symmetry point were described by the mathematics of the solution of N = 2, d = 4 SU (2) gauge theory with four flavors.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a Wheeler-DeWitt quantum constraint operator for four-dimensional, non-perturbative Lorentzian vacuum quantum gravity is defined in the continuum.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Improved limits on WIMP search have been obtained by the pulse shape analysis of the data collected with a large-mass low-radioactivity NaI(Tl) set-up at Gran Sasso National Laboratory as discussed by the authors.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the instanton has the form of a space-time wormhole in the string frame, and is responsible for the nonconservation of the Noether current.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The magnetic duals of Guven's electric-type solutions of supergravity preserving 1 4 or 1 8 of the D = 11 supersymmetry were presented in this article, where the electric solutions were interpreted as n orthogonal intersecting membranes and the magnetic solutions as n ORC 5-branes, with n = 2, 3.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the currently available set of hadron abundances at the SPS for central S + Au(W,Pb) collisions is compared to predictions from a scenario assuming local thermal and hadrochemical equilibrium.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of the electroweak phase transition in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, in the presence of light stops, has been performed and it has been shown that the order parameter v(Tc)/Tc can become significantly larger than one, for values of the Higgs and supersymmetric particle masses consistent with the present experimental bounds.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the asymmetric reheating can be related to a difference of the electroweak symmetry breaking scales in the two sectors, which is needed for a solution of the neutrino puzzles in this picture.

Journal ArticleDOI
Edi Halyo1
TL;DR: In this article, the mass of the inflaton can be much smaller than the Hubble constant in supergravity models in which inflation is driven by D-terms and not F-terms.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the subspace of the moduli space of F-theory on K3 over which the coupling remains constant develops new branches at special values of this coupling, which correspond to fixed points under the SL(2,Z) duality group of the type IIB string.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a six-parameter family of five-dimensional black hole solutions is constructed which are labeled by their mass, two asymptotic scalar fields and three charges, and it is shown that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is exactly matched by a simple but mysterious duality-invariant extension of previously derived formulae for the number of D-brane states in string theory.
