Superstring cosmology

JE Lidsey, D Wands, EJ Copeland - Physics Reports, 2000‏ - Elsevier
Aspects of superstring cosmology are reviewed with an emphasis on the cosmological
implications of duality symmetries in the theory. The string effective actions are summarized …

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 …

Massive N= 2a supergravity in ten dimensions

LJ Romans - Physics Letters B, 1986‏ - Elsevier
A new version of the non-chiral N= 2a supergravity in ten dimensions is obtained, in which
the two-index tensor field of the theory “eats” the single vector field and acquires a mass in a …

Fivebranes, membranes and non-perturbative string theory

K Becker, M Becker, A Strorninger - Nuclear Physics B, 1995‏ - Elsevier
Non-perturbative instanton corrections to the moduli space geometry of type IIA string theory
compactified on a Calabi-Yau space are derived and found to contain order e− 1/gs …

[كتاب][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 …

E11 and M theory

P West - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2001‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We argue that 11-dimensional supergravity can be described by a nonlinear realization
based on the group E 11. This requires a formulation of 11-dimensional supergravity in …

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 …

[كتاب][B] Black holes in string theory

JM Maldacena - 1996‏ - search.proquest.com
This thesis is devoted to finding a microscopic quantum description of black holes. We
consider black holes in string theory which is a quantum theory of gravity. We find that the" …

Duality in the type-II superstring effective action

E Bergshoeff, C Hull, T Ortin - Nuclear Physics B, 1995‏ - Elsevier
We derive the T-duality transformations that transform a general d= 10 solution of the type-
IIA string with one isometry to a solution of the type-IIB string with one isometry and vice …

Dualisation of dualities

E Cremmer, B Julia, H Lü, CN Pope - Nuclear Physics B, 1998‏ - Elsevier
We analyse the global (rigid) symmetries that are realised on the bosonic fields of the
various supergravity actions obtained from eleven-dimensional supergravity by toroidal …
