Holographic Hadrons in a Confining Finite Density Medium
, 2009 We study a sector of the hadron spectrum in the presence of finite baryon density. We use a non-supersymmetric gravity dual to a confining guage theory which exhibits a running dilaton.

Supersymmetry breaking, open strings and M-theory [PDF]
, 1998 We study supersymmetry breaking by Scherk-Schwarz compactifications in type I string theory. While in the gravitational sector all mass splittings are proportional to a (large) compactification radius, supersymmetry remains unbroken for the massless ...

De Sitter cosmology on an expanding bubble
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 Constructing an explicit compactification yielding a metastable de Sitter (dS) vacuum in a UV consistent string theory is an incredibly difficult open problem.

Jumping Through Loops: On Soft Terms from Large Volume Compactifications
, 2007 We subject the phenomenologically successful large volume scenario of hep-th/0502058 to a first consistency check in string theory. In particular, we consider whether the expansion of the string effective action is consistent in the presence of D-branes ...

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 A generic feature of string compactifications is the presence of many scalar fields, called moduli. Moduli are usually displaced from their post-inflationary minimum during inflation.

Particle Physics Implications of F-theory
, 2010 We review recent progress in realizing Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) in a strongly coupled formulation of type IIB string theory known as F-theory. Our main emphasis is on the expected low-energy phenomenology of a minimal class of F-theory GUTs.

Magnetic monopoles and free fractionally charged states at accelerators and in cosmic rays
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 Unified theories of strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions which have electric charge quantization predict the existence of topologically stable magnetic monopoles.

Resource Letter NSST-1: The Nature and Status of String Theory
, 2004 This Resource Letter provides a guide to some of the the introductory and review literature in string theory. It is in no way complete, though it is intended to be of use to students at several levels. Owing to the nature of the subject, even much of the

Fundamental matter, meson spectroscopy and non-critical string/gauge duality
, 2005 We discuss the incorporation of quarks in the fundamental representation of the color group into the non-critical string/gauge duality. We focus on confining theories and address this question using two different approaches: (i) by introducing flavor ...

Catalytic creation of baby bubble universe with small positive cosmological constant
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We investigate the decay of metastable de Sitter, Minkowski and anti-de Sitter vacua catalyzed by a black hole and a cloud of strings. We apply the method to the creation of the four dimensional bubble universe in the five dimensional anti-de Sitter ...
