We develop a novel approach to non-relativistic closed bosonic string theory that is based on a string $1/c^2$ expansion of the relativistic string, where $c$ is the speed of light. This approach has the benefit that one does not need to…
We continue and extend our earlier investigation ``Strings in a Time-Dependent Orbifold'' (hep-th/0204168). We formulate conditions for an orbifold to be amenable to perturbative string analysis and classify the low dimensional orbifolds…
Non-singular two and three dimensional string cosmologies are constructed using the exact conformal field theories corresponding to SO(2,1)/SO(1,1) and SO(2,2)/SO(2,1). All semi-classical curvature singularities are canceled in the exact…
A non-supersymmetric ten-dimensional open string theory is constructed as an orbifold of type I string theory, and as an orientifold of the bosonic type B theory. It is purely bosonic, and cancellation of massless tadpoles requires the…
In six dimensions there exists a unique one-parameter family of non-linear conformal electrodynamics for a chiral 2-form gauge field which includes (in a free-field limit) the linear chiral 2-form theory and is related, by dimensional…
Non-relativistic charged open strings coupled with Abelian gauge fields are quantized in a geometric representation that generalizes the Loop Representation. The model comprises open-strings interacting through a Kalb-Ramond field in four…
We consider the low-energy effective string action in four dimensions including the leading order-$\alpha'$ terms. An exact homogeneous solution is obtained. It represents a non-singular expanding cosmological model in which the tensor…
Extensions of the Standard Model of elementary particle physics to noncommutative geometries are proposed by string models. Independent of this motivation, one may consider such a model as an effective field theory with higher-dimensional…
In $D=3,4,6$ and 10 space--time dimensions considered is a string model invariant under transformations of $N=1$ space--time supersymmetry and $n=D-2$ local worldsheet supersymmetry with the both Virasoro constraints solved in the twistor…
If the axion exists and if the initial axion field value is uncorrelated at causally disconnected points, then it should be possible to predict the efficiency of cosmological axion production, relating the axionic dark matter density to the…
We study relativistic particle, string and membrane theories as defining field theories containing gravity in (0+1), (1+1) and (2+1) spacetime dimensions respectively. We show how an off shell invariance of the massless particle action…
In our previous work, we found new types of the cosmic string solutions in the Abelian-Higgs model with an enhanced $U(1)$ global symmetry. We dubbed those solutions as the compensated/uncompensated strings. The compensated string is…
Dynamics of a free point particle on a multi world-line is presented and shown to reduce to that of a bosonic string theory at the appropriate limit. Other higher dimensional extended objects are argued to appear at other regions of the…
The main limitations of string field theory arise because its present formulation requires a background representing a classical solution, a background defined by a strictly conformally invariant theory. Here we sketch a construction for a…
We simulate the formation and the evolution of global strings taking into account the expansion of the universe and the concomitant change of the effective potential, that is, the change from the restoration stage of the global {\it…
We study some low-lying physical states in a superstring theory based on the quadratically non-linear $SO(N)$--extended superconformal algebra. In the realisation of the algebra that we use, all the physical states are discrete, analogous…
We present detailed discussions on the stochastic Hamiltonians for non-critical string field theories on the basis of matrix models. Beginning from the simplest $c=0$ case, we derive the explicit forms of the Hamiltonians for the higher…
Using non-relativistic effective field theory in 1+1 dimensions, we generalize Luescher's approach for resonances in the presence of an external field. This generalized approach provides a framework to study the infinite-volume limit of the…
The relations existing between the auxiliary field (einbein field) formalism and the spinless Salpeter equation are studied in the case of two particles with the same mass, interacting via a confining potential. The problem of…
We present a mathematical model for a physical theory that is compatible with Einstein's Special Relativity Theory. Our model consists of three pseudo-complex dimensions, representing three real dimensions of space, dual to what could be…
