BPS Solutions and New Phases of Finite-Temperature Strings [PDF]

, 2000
All high-temperature phases of the known N=4 superstrings in five dimensions can be described by the universal thermal potential of an effective four-dimensional supergravity. This theory, in addition to three moduli s, t, u, contains non-trivial winding

Electric/magnetic duality and its stringy origins [PDF]

, 1995
We review electric/magnetic duality in $N=4$ (and certain $N=2$) globally supersymmetric gauge theories and show how this duality, which relates strong to weak coupling, follows as a consequence of a string/string duality.

Dual String Pairs With N=1 And N=2 Supersymmetry In Four Dimensions [PDF]

, 1995
Based on a simple adiabatic argument and by considering the heterotic string counterpart of certain symmetries of Type II superstrings such as $(-1)^{F_L}$ and orientation reversal, we construct orbifold candidates for dual pairs of heterotic and Type II

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

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.

Worldsheet description of a massive type IIA superstring in 10D

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023
We construct, following [1, 2], a massive M2-brane (supermembrane) as the limit of a genus two M2-brane that becomes a twice punctured Riemann surface with particular boundary conditions on the fields defined on the punctures.

Revisiting noninteracting string partition functions in Rindler space [PDF]

, 2016
We revisit non-interacting string partition functions in Rindler space by summing over fields in the spectrum. In field theory, the total partition function splits in a natural way in a piece that does not contain surface terms and a piece consisting of ...

Eleven Dimensional Origin of String/String Duality: A One Loop Test [PDF]

, 1995
Membrane/fivebrane duality in D=11 implies Type IIA string/Type IIA fivebrane duality in D=10, which in turn implies Type IIA string/heterotic string duality in D=6.

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

Massive theta lifts

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.
