U-duality and M-theory

NA Obers, B Pioline - Physics Reports, 1999‏ - Elsevier
This work is intended as a pedagogical introduction to M-theory and to its maximally
supersymmetric toroidal compactifications, in the frameworks of 11D supergravity, type II …

Non-geometric backgrounds in string theory

E Plauschinn - Physics Reports, 2019‏ - Elsevier
This review provides an introduction to non-geometric backgrounds in string theory. Starting
from a discussion of T-duality, geometric and non-geometric torus-fibrations are reviewed …

Dielectric-branes

RC Myers - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2000‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We extend the usual world-volume action for a Dp-brane to the case of N coincident Dp-
branes where the world-volume theory involves a U (N) gauge theory. The guiding principle …

[کتاب][B] Dynamical systems and cosmology

AA Coley - 2013‏ - books.google.com
Dynamical systems theory is especially well-suited for determining the possible asymptotic
states (at both early and late times) of cosmological models, particularly when the governing …

The powers of monodromy

L McAllister, E Silverstein, A Westphal… - Journal of High Energy …, 2014‏ - Springer
A bstract Flux couplings to string theory axions yield super-Planckian field ranges along
which the axion potential energy grows. At the same time, other aspects of the physics …

Universe as a domain wall

A Lukas, BA Ovrut, KS Stelle, D Waldram - Physical Review D, 1999‏ - APS
It is shown that the effective five-dimensional theory of the strongly coupled heterotic string is
a gauged version of N= 1 five-dimensional supergravity with four-dimensional boundaries …

Nongeometric flux compactifications

J Shelton, W Taylor, B Wecht - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2005‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate a simple class of type-II string compactifications which incorporate
nongeometric``fluxes''in addition to``geometric flux''and the usual H-field and RR fluxes …

New formulations of D= 10 supersymmetry and D8-O8 domain walls

E Bergshoeff, R Kallosh, T Ortin, D Roest… - … and Quantum Gravity, 2001‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We discuss a generalized form of IIA/IIB supergravity depending onall RR potentials C
(p)(p= 0, 1,..., 9) as the effective field theory of type IIA/IIB superstring theory. For the IIA case …
