Spin-Statistics Violations in Superstring Theory

open access: yes, 2008
I describe how superstring theory may violate spin-statistics in an experimentally observable manner. Reviewing the basics of superstring interactions and how to utilize these to produce a statistical phase, I then apply these ideas to two specific ...

Eigenvalue equation for the modular graph C a,b,c,d

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
The modular graph C a,b,c,d on the torus is a three loop planar graph in which two of the vertices have coordination number four, while the others have coordination number two. We obtain an eigenvalue equation satisfied by C a,b,c,d for generic values of

The cohomology of superspace, pure spinors and invariant integrals

open access: yes, 2008
The superform construction of supersymmetric invariants, which consists of integrating the top component of a closed superform over spacetime, is reviewed.

Upper bound on the Atiyah-Singer index from tadpole cancellation

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
We propose an upper bound on the Atiyah-Singer index in the effective action of string theory. For E 8 × E 8 ′ $$ {E}_8^{\prime } $$ and SO(32) heterotic string theories on smooth Calabi-Yau threefolds with line bundles, we find that the tadpole ...

Compactification of D=11 supergravity on spaces of exceptional holonomy

open access: yes, 1995
We investigate the compactification of D=11 supergravity to D=5,4,3, on compact manifolds of holonomy $SU(3)$ (Calabi-Yau), $G_2$, and $Spin(7)$, respectively, making use of examples of the latter two cases found recently by Joyce. In each case the lower

Heterotic and bosonic string amplitudes via field theory

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2018
Previous work has shown that massless tree amplitudes of the type I and IIA/B superstrings can be dramatically simplified by expressing them as double copies between field-theory amplitudes and scalar disk/sphere integrals, the latter containing all the ...

Recent Developments in String Theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
After briefly reviewing basic concepts of perturbative string theory, we explain in simple terms some of the new findings that created excitement among the string physicists.

T-duality invariant effective actions at orders α′, α′2

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2018
We use compatibility of the D-dimensional effective actions for diagonal metric and for dilaton with the T-duality when theory is compactified on a circle, to find the D-dimensional couplings of curvatures and dilaton as well as the higher derivative ...

M-Phenomenology [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Recent developments involving strongly coupled superstrings are discussed from a phenomenological point of view. In particular, strongly coupled $E_8\times E'_8$ is described as an appropriate long-wavelength limit of M-theory, and some generic ...
