String-Generated Gravity Models [PDF]
Expansion of supersymmetric string theory suggests that the leading quadratic curvature correction to the Einstein action is the Gauss-Bonnet invariant. We show that this model has both flat and anti-de Sitter space as solutions, but that the cosmological branch is unstable, because the graviton becomes a ghost there: The theory solves its own ...

CHARMED BARYON IN A STRING MODEL [PDF]
Charmed baryon spectroscopy has been studied under a string model. In this model, charmed baryons are composed of a diquark and a charm quark which are connected by a constant tension. In this diquark picture, the quantum numbers JP of confirmed baryons have been well assigned.

Sterile neutrinos in string derived models
The MiniBooNE collaboration recently reported further evidence for the existence of sterile neutrinos, implying substantial mixing with the left-handed active neutrinos and at a comparable mass scale.

Non-singular pre-big bang scenarios from all-order α′ corrections
We reformulate in Hamiltonian language the recent proposal by Hohm and Zwiebach of an action yielding the most general O(d, d)-symmetric string cosmology equations, at tree-level in the string-loop expansion, but to all orders in the α′ expansion.

Modulated reheating and large non-gaussianity in string cosmology [PDF]
A generic feature of the known string inflationary models is that the same physics that makes the inflaton lighter than the Hubble scale during inflation often also makes other scalars this light.

Bit-string models for parasex [PDF]
We present different bit-string models of haploid asexual populations in which individuals may exchange part of their genome with other individuals (parasex) according to a given probability. We study the advantages of this parasex concerning population sizes, genetic fitness and diversity.

Generalised U-dual solutions via ISO(7) gauged supergravity
We study a solution generating technique in supergravity which can be viewed as a generalised version of U-duality, taking solutions of type IIA supergravity on a 6-sphere with RR flux to new solutions of 11-dimensional supergravity.

Non-abelian fermionic T-duality in supergravity
Field transformation rules of the standard fermionic T-duality require fermionic isometries to anticommute, which leads to complexification of the Killing spinors and results in complex valued dual backgrounds.
