Understanding Gravity: Some Extra‐Dimensional Perspectives
Gravity is one of the most inexplicable forces of nature, controlling everything, from the expansion of the Universe to the ebb and flow of ocean tides. The search for the laws of motion and gravitation began more than two thousand years ago but still we do not have the complete picture of it.

Fermionic one-loop amplitudes of the RNS superstring
We investigate massless n-point one-loop amplitudes of the open RNS superstring with two external fermions and determine their worldsheet integrands.

On the equivalence between SRS and PCO formulations of superstring perturbation theory
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

Exploring T‐Duality for Self‐Dual Fields
Abstract Avatars of T‐duality within Sen's formalism for self‐dual field strengths in various dimensions are studied. This formalism is shown to naturally accommodate the T‐duality relation between Type IIA/IIB theories when compactified on a circle without the need for imposing the self‐duality constraint by hand, as is usually done. The study of this

Carrollian limit of NS-NS and Heterotic Supergravity
We construct the Carrollian limit of NS–NS and heterotic supergravity through an ultra-relativistic expansion of the fields. An appropriate scaling of the dilaton renders the measure finite and compensates the divergences arising from the NS-NS ...

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.

Unification of Gravity and Internal Interactions
Abstract In the gauge theoretic approach of gravity, general relativity is described by gauging the symmetry of the tangent manifold in four dimensions. Usually the dimension of the tangent space is considered to be equal to the dimension of the curved manifold. However, the tangent group of a manifold of dimension d is not necessarily SOd$SO_d$.

Automorphisms and twisted vertex operators [PDF]
This work is an examination of various aspects of twisted vertex operator representations of Kac-Moody algebras. It starts with an introduction to Kac-Moody algebras and string theories, including a discussion of the propagation of strings on orbifolds ...

We show how starting with one-string space of states in BRST formalism one can construct a large class of physical quantities containing, in particular, scattering amplitudes for bosonic string and superstring.

Heterotic instantons for monad and extension bundles
We consider non-perturbative superpotentials from world-sheet instantons wrapped on holomorphic genus zero curves in heterotic string theory. These superpotential contributions feature prominently in moduli stabilization and large field axion inflation ...
