Flux Vacua and Branes of the Minimal Superstring [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2005 We analyze exactly the simplest minimal superstring theory, using its dual matrix model. Its target space is one dimensional (the Liouville direction), and the background fields include a linear dilaton, a possible tachyon condensate, and RR flux. The theory has both charged and neutral branes, and these exhibit new and surprising phenomena. The smooth

Anomalies, dualities, and topology of D = 6 N = 1 superstring vacua [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 1996 We consider various aspects of compactifications of the Type I/heterotic $Spin(32)/\Z_2$ theory on K3. One family of such compactifications includes the standard embedding of the spin connection in the gauge group, and is on the same moduli space as the compactification of the heterotic $E_8\times E_8$ theory on K3 with instanton numbers (8,16 ...

Stable non-supersymmetric vacua in the moduli space of non-critical superstrings [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 2006 We study a set of asymmetric deformations of non-critical superstring theories in various dimensions. The deformations arise as Kaehler and complex structure deformations of an orthogonal two-torus comprising of a parallel and a transverse direction in the near-horizon geometry of NS5-branes.

Critical superstring vacua from noncritical manifolds: A novel framework for string compactification and mirror symmetry [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 1993 A new framework is found for the compactification of supersymmetric string theory. It is shown that the massless spectra of critical string vacua with central charge c=3${\mathit{D}}_{\mathrm{crit}}$ can be derived from manifolds of complex dimension ${\mathit{D}}_{\mathrm{crit}}$+2(Q-1),Q\ensuremath{\ge}1, whose first Chern class is quantized in a ...
