Homotopy Transfer and Effective Field Theory II: Strings and Double Field Theory
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 70, Issue 2-3, March 2022., 2022 Abstract We continue our study of effective field theory via homotopy transfer of L∞$L_\infty$‐algebras, and apply it to tree‐level non‐Wilsonian effective actions of the kind discussed by Sen in which the modes integrated out are comparable in mass to the modes that are kept. We focus on the construction of effective actions for string states at fixed

The anomaly that was not meant IIB
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 70, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022 Abstract Type IIB supergravity enjoys a discrete non‐Abelian duality group, which has potential quantum anomalies. In this paper we explicitly compute these, and present the bordism group that controls them, modulo some physically motivated assumptions.

Toroidal & Orbifold Compactifications at Large D and D‐Duality
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 70, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022 Abstract In this paper I will further investigate the spectrum of quantum gravity or string theories at large number of dimensions. We will see that volumes of certain orbifolds shrink at large D. It follows that the mass spectra of the leading Kaluza‐Klein towers and also of wrapped brane states on these orbifolds possess a non‐trivial dependence on D:

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.

Superstring Backgrounds in String Geometry
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 String geometry theory is a candidate of the nonperturbative formulation of string theory. In order to determine the string vacuum, we need to clarify how superstring backgrounds are described in string geometry theory. In this paper, we show that all the type IIA, IIB, SO(32) type I, and SO(32) and E8 × E8 heterotic superstring backgrounds are ...

On the equivalence between SRS and PCO formulations of superstring perturbation theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We establish the equivalence between two formulations of superstring perturbation theory, one based on integration over the supermoduli space of super Riemann surfaces (SRS), the other based on integration over the bosonic moduli space with insertions of

Topological amplitude computations using the pure spinor formalism
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 After constructing a simplified four-dimensional version of the b ghost, topological multiloop amplitudes in type II superstring theory compactified on a six-dimensional orbifold are computed using the non-minimal pure spinor formalism. These pure spinor

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We use Poincaré series for massive Maass-Jacobi forms to define a “massive theta lift”, and apply it to the examples of the constant function and the modular invariant j-function, with the Siegel-Narain theta function as integration kernel.

Amplitudes involving massive states using pure spinor formalism
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 Same amplitudes evaluated independently using RNS and pure spinor formalism are expected to agree. While for massless states, this fact has been firmly established, for massive states such an explicit check has been lacking so far.

Heterotic complex structure moduli stabilization for elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 Holomorphicity of vector bundles can stabilize complex structure moduli of a Calabi-Yau threefold in N = 1 supersymmetric heterotic compactifications. In principle, the Atiyah class determines the stabilized moduli.
