The Power of M Theory [PDF]

, 1995
A proposed duality between type IIB superstring theory on R^9 X S^1 and a conjectured 11D fundamental theory (``M theory'') on R^9 X T^2 is investigated.

Open String Thermodynamics and D-Branes [PDF]

, 1996
We study the thermodynamics of open superstrings in the presence of $p$-dimensional D-branes. We get some finite temperature dualities relating the one-loop canonical free energy of open strings to the self-energy of D-branes at dual temperature. For the

The Monster Sporadic Group and a Theory Underlying Superstring Models [PDF]

, 1996
The pattern of duality symmetries acting on the states of compactified superstring models reinforces an earlier suggestion that the Monster sporadic group is a hidden symmetry for superstring models. This in turn points to a supersymmetric theory of self-

Perturbative String Thermodynamics near Black Hole Horizons [PDF]

, 2015
We provide further computations and ideas to the problem of near-Hagedorn string thermodynamics near (uncharged) black hole horizons, building upon our earlier work JHEP 1403 (2014) 086. The relevance of long strings to one-loop black hole thermodynamics

Jumping spectra and vanishing couplings in heterotic Line Bundle Standard Models

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We study two aspects of the physics of heterotic Line Bundle Standard Models on smooth Calabi-Yau threefolds. First, we investigate to what degree modern moduli stabilization scenarios can affect the standard model spectrum in such compactifications ...

Strings from Membranes and Fivebranes [PDF]

, 1996
Under the six-dimensional heterotic/type $IIA$ duality map, a solitonic membrane solution of heterotic string theory transforms into a singular solution of type $IIA$ theory, and should therefore be interpreted as a fundamental membrane in the latter ...

Amplitudes on plane waves from ambitwistor strings

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017
In marked contrast to conventional string theory, ambitwistor strings remain solvable worldsheet theories when coupled to curved background fields. We use this fact to consider the quantization of ambitwistor strings on plane wave metric and plane wave ...

Twistor--like Formulation of the Supermembrane in D=11 $^*$

, 1993
We propose a new formulation of the D=11 supermembrane theory that involves commuting spinors (twistor--like variables) and exhibits a manifest $n$--extended world volume supersymmetry $(1\leq n\leq 8)$.

On the Picture Dependence of Ramond-Ramond Cohomology [PDF]

, 1997
Closed string physical states are BRST cohomology classes computed on the space of states annihilated by $b_0^-$. Since $b_0^-$ does not commute with the operations of picture changing, BRST cohomologies at different pictures need not agree.

Color-kinematics dual representations of one-loop matrix elements in the open-superstring effective action

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023
The α ′-expansion of string theory provides a rich set of higher-dimension operators, indexed by ζ values, which can be used to study color-kinematics duality and the double copy. These two powerful properties, actually first noticed in tree-level string
