Auxiliary field deformations of (semi-)symmetric space sigma models by Daniele Bielli, Christian Ferko, Liam Smith, Gabriele Tartaglino-Mazzucchelli

“…This gives rise to a new infinite family of classically integrable ℤ2 and ℤ4 coset models of the form which are of interest in applications of integrability to worldsheet string theory and holography. We demonstrate that every theory in this infinite class admits a zero-curvature representation for its equations of motion by exhibiting a Lax connection.…”

The decoupling of moduli about the standard embedding by Beatrice Chisamanga, Jock McOrist, Sebastien Picard, Eirik Eik Svanes

“…Abstract We study the cohomology of an elliptic differential complex arising from the infinitesimal moduli of heterotic string theory in the supergravity approximation. We compute these cohomology groups at the standard embedding, and show that they decompose into a direct sum of cohomologies. …”

Superstring Backgrounds in String Geometry by Masaki Honda, Matsuo Sato, Taiki Tohshima

“…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. …”

Modified Newton's Law of Gravitation due to Minimal Length in Quantum Gravity by Ahmed Farag Ali, A. Tawfik

“…In this work, we discuss the effects of generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) which is proposed by some approaches to quantum gravity such as string theory, black hole physics, and doubly special relativity theories (DSR), on the area law of the entropy. …”

Supersymmetric Dyons, Superstrings, and Rotating Wormholes by E. Olszewski

“…We show that these solutions satisfy κ-symmetry constraints and can therefore be generalized to supersymmetric solutions of type I SO32 string theory. After applying a T-duality transformation to these solutions, we obtain two D3-branes connected by a wormhole, embedded in an M5-brane. …”

Application of AdS/CFT in Nuclear Physics by M. R. Pahlavani, R. Morad

“…We review some recent progress in studying the nuclear physics especially nucleon-nucleon (NN) force within the gauge-gravity duality, in context of noncritical string theory. Our main focus is on the holographic QCD model based on the AdS6 background. …”

A heterotic Kähler gravity and the distance conjecture by Javier José Murgas Ibarra, Paul-Konstantin Oehlmann, Fabian Ruehle, Eirik Eik Svanes

“…We investigate properties of this new holomorphic theory, and in particular connections to the swampland distance conjecture in the context of heterotic string theory. In the process, we define a new type of symplectic cohomology theory, where the background complex structure Beltrami differential plays the role of the symplectic form.…”

A Possible Solution of the Cosmological Constant Problem Based on GW170817 and Planck Observations with Minimal Length Uncertainty by Abdel Magied Diab, Abdel Nasser Tawfik

“…We propose generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) with an additional term of quadratic momentum motivated by string theory and black hole physics and providing a quantum mechanical framework for the minimal length uncertainty, at the Planck scale. …”

Reheating after swampland conjecture by Vahid Kamali

“…In the standard model of inflation or cold inflation firstly universe expands where the inflaton rolls the nearly flat part of the potential and in the second part, the universe reheats where the inflaton oscillates around the minimum of the potential which leads to thermalized radiation dominated universe. String theory as the best model of quantum gravity forbids the oscillation around the minimum of the potential during the thermalized epoch of the reheating. …”

Influence of Lorentz Invariation Violation on Arbitrary Spin Fermion Tunneling Radiation in the Vaidya-Bonner Space-Time by Jie Zhang, Zhie Liu, Bei Sha, Xia Tan, Yuzhen Liu, Shuzheng Yang

“…Considering a light dispersion relationship derived from string theory, quantum gravitational theory, and the Rarita-Schwinger equation in the nonstationary spherical symmetry space-time, we derive an accurately modified dynamic equation for fermions with arbitrary spin. …”

U ( 3 ) C... by Luis Alfredo Anchordoqui

“…After that we direct attention to embedding the gauge theory into the framework of string theory. We consider extensions of the standard model based on open strings ending on D-branes, with gauge bosons due to strings attached to stacks of D-branes and chiral matter due to strings stretching between intersecting D-branes. …”

Non-Gaussianity from Particle Production during Inflation by Neil Barnaby

“…Such interactions are quite natural in a variety of inflation models from supersymmetry and string theory. Using both lattice field theory and analytical calculations, we study the production of χ particles and their subsequent rescatterings off the condensate ϕ(t), which generates bremsstrahlung radiation of light inflaton fluctuations δϕ. …”

Universal flops of length 1 and 2 from D2-branes at surface singularities by Marina Moleti, Roberto Valandro

“…Abstract We study families of deformed ADE surfaces by probing them with a D2-brane in Type IIA string theory. The geometry of the total space X of such a family can be encoded in a scalar field Φ, which lives in the corresponding ADE algebra and depends on the deformation parameters. …”
