Flux Compactification

TL;DR: A survey of the landscape of string and M theory vacua can be found in this article, where the authors discuss the potential for testable consequences of this picture, such as observable effects of moduli, constraints on early cosmology, and predictions for the scale of supersymmetry breaking.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the systematics of open string theories

TL;DR: In this article, the role of the fusion algebra in determining the interactions and the Chan-Paton symmetry of open-string models is clarified, and the internal symmetry of fusion algebra is adapted for symmetry breaking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Four-dimensional superstrings

TL;DR: In this article, the authors prove that modular invariance and factorization ensure the presence of a massless graviton and the correct connection between spin and statistics, and also prove that the existence of the massless spin-3/2 state ensures the absence of tachyons and vanishing of the one-loop cosmological constant.

Noncommutative Compactifications of Type I Strings on Tori with Magnetic Background Flux

TL;DR: In this article, the authors constructed six-and four-dimensional toroidal compactifications of the Type I string with magnetic flux on the D-branes and investigated the spectra of such non-commutative string compactifications.

Infinite Conformal Symmetry in Two-Dimensional Quantum Field Theory

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an investigation of the massless, two-dimentional, interacting field theories and their invariance under an infinite-dimensional group of conformal transformations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spectral asymmetry and Riemannian geometry. III

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a generalization of Hirzebruch's signature theorem for the case of manifolds with boundary, which can be viewed as analogous to the Gauss-Bonnet theorem for manifold with boundary.

A Course in Arithmetic

TL;DR: In this article, the theorem on arithmetic progressions modular forms is proved for finite fields p-adic fields Hilbert symbol quadratic forms over Qp, and over Q integral quadratics forms with discriminant +-1.

The Heterotic String

TL;DR: A new type of superstring theory is constructed as a chiral combination of the closed D=26 bosonic and D=10 fermionic strings, which is supersymmetric, Lorentz invariant, and free of tachyons.

Factorizable dual model of pions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dual-resonance model of mesons is constructed through the use of creation and annihilation operators having simple anticommutation properties as well as harmonic-oscillator type operators of the conventional model.
