The low-energy physics of (quasi)degenerate one-dimensional systems is typically understood as the particle-like dynamics of kinks between stable, ordered structures. Such dynamics, we show, becomes highly non-trivial when the ground states…
We identify string corrections to the EM memory effect. Though largely negligible in the low-energy limit, the effect become relevant in high-energy collisions and in extreme events. We illustrate our findings in a simple unoriented bosonic…
We present a construction of an entropy-preserving equivariant surjective map from the $d$-dimensional critical sandpile model to a certain closed, shift-invariant subgroup of $\mathbb{T}^{\mathbb{Z}^d}$ (the `harmonic model'). A similar…
We consider classical closed string with $N$ particles inside. Taking collisions into account, we consider dynamics of this $N$-particle system under the influence of constant external force. We get Euler equations and explicit formula for…
We call \emph{Alphabet model} a generalization to N types of particles of the classic ABC model. We have particles of different types stochastically evolving on a one dimensional lattice with an exchange dynamics. The rates of exchange are…
This paper describes a mechanical theory for the unification of the basic forces of Nature with only one wave-particle interaction. The theory is based on the hypothesis that the ultimate components of matter are just two kind of pulsing…
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…
The supermembrane theory on $R^{10}x S^1$ is investigated, for membranes that wrap once around the compact dimension. The Hamiltonian can be organized as describing $N_s$ interacting strings, the exact supermembrane corresponding to $N_s\to…
A theory of gravitation in 4D is presented with strings used in the material action in $U_4$ spacetime. It is shown that the string naturally gives rise to torsion. It is also shown that the equation of motion a string follows from the…
The past year has seen enormous progress in string theory. It has become clear that all of the different string theories are different limits of a single theory. Moreover, in certain limits, one obtains a new, eleven-dimensional structure…
We discuss the appearance of superconducting strings in $E_6$ grand unification, keeping track of the magnetic monopole flux that precedes the formation of the string flux tube. This flux matching ensures compatibility with the quantum…
The simple derivation of the string equation of motion adopted in the nonrelativistic case is presented, paying the special attention to the effects of finite masses of bosonic fields of an Abelian Higgs model. The role of the finite mass…
In this paper, we study some aspects of moduli stabilization using string gases in the context of the Swampland. In the framework which we derive, the matter Lagrangian for string gases yields a potential for the size moduli which satisfies…
In this paper, I analyze numerically the behaviour of the solutions corresponding to an Abelian string in the framework of the Starobinsky model. The role played by the quadratic term in the Lagrangian density $f(R) = R + \eta R^2$ of this…
Power law potentials dictate interactions across scales and matter, controlling the structure and dynamics of inanimate, and living systems. Though the equilibrium distributions of particles with a power law repulsion were extensively…
We suggest that by virtue of the very early processes immediately following the big bang incipient 1st generation particles are created forming periodic strings to confine the quarks. These strings may be described either by the Laplace…
It is well-known that magnetic forces can induce a formation of densely packed strings of magnetic particles or even sheafs of several strings (spindles). Here we show that in a sufficiently strong magnetic field, more complex aggregates of…
A careful treatment of closed string BRST cohomology shows that there are more discrete states and associated symmetries in $D=2$ string theory than has been recognized hitherto. The full structure, at the $SU(2)$ radius, has a natural…
A nonrelativistic Bose gas is represented as a grand-canonical ensemble of fluctuating closed spacetime strings of arbitrary shape and length. The loops are characterized by their string tension and the number of times they wind around the…
We develop winding number correlation functions that allow us to assess the role of field fluctuations on vortex formation in an Abelian gauge theory. We compute the behavior of these correlation functions in simple circumstances and show…
