Evolving Heterotic Gauge Backgrounds: Genetic Algorithms versus Reinforcement Learning
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 70, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022 Abstract The immensity of the string landscape and the difficulty of identifying solutions that match the observed features of particle physics have raised serious questions about the predictive power of string theory. Modern methods of optimisation and search can, however, significantly improve the prospects of constructing the standard model in ...

Quintessence and the Swampland: The Numerically Controlled Regime of Moduli Space
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 70, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022 Abstract We provide a detailed discussion of the main theoretical and phenomenological challenges of quintessence model building in any numerically controlled regime of the moduli space of string theory. We argue that a working quintessence model requires a leading order non‐supersymmetric (near) Minkowski vacuum with an axionic flat direction.

String (Gravi)photons, “Dark Brane Photons”, Holography and the Hypercharge Portal
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 69, Issue 6, June 2021., 2021 Abstract The mixing of graviphotons and dark brane photons to the Standard Model hypercharge is analyzed in full generality, in weakly‐coupled string theory. Both the direct mixing as well as effective terms that provide mixing after inclusion of SM corrections are estimated to lowest order.

On the Interpretation of Nonresonant Phenomena at Colliders
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 With null results in resonance searches at the LHC, the physics potential focus is now shifting towards the interpretation of nonresonant phenomena. An example of such shift is the increased popularity of the EFT programme. We can embark on such programme owing to the good integrated luminosity and an excellent understanding of the detectors, which ...

Curvature corrections to KPV: do we need deep throats?
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We consider α′2 curvature corrections to the action of an NS5-brane which plays the key role in the metastability analysis of warped anti-D3-brane uplifts by Kachru, Pearson and Verlinde (KPV). Such corrections can dramatically alter the KPV analysis. We

The complete search for the supersymmetric Pati-Salam models from intersecting D6-branes
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We construct a systematic method to build all the possible three-family N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 supersymmetric Pati-Salam models from Type IIA orientifolds on 𝕋6 /(ℤ2 × ℤ2) with intersecting D6-branes, in which the SU(4) C × SU(2) L × SU(2) R gauge ...

D-branes at Singularities and String Phenomenology
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 2007 In these notes we give an introduction to some of the concepts involved in constructing SM-like gauge theories in systems of branes at singularities of CY manifolds. These notes are an expanded version of lectures given by Herman Verlinde at the Cargese 2006 Summer School.

The emergence proposal and the emergent string
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We explore the Emergence Proposal for the moduli metric and the gauge couplings in a concrete model with 7 saxionic and 7 axionic moduli fields, namely the compactification of the type IIA superstring on a 6-dimensional toroidal orbifold.
