The cosmological constant problem is turned around to argue for a new foundational physics postulate underlying a consistent quantum theory of gravity and matter, such as string theory. This postulate is a quantum equivalence principle…
Perturbative estimates suggest that extended topological defects such as cosmic strings emit few particles, but numerical simulations of the fields from which they are constructed suggest the opposite. In this paper we study the decay of…
We analyze a supersymmetric system with four flat directions. We observe several interesting properties, such as the coexistence of the discrete and continuous spectrum in the same range of energies. We also solve numerically the classical…
We show that the theta representations on certain covers of general linear groups support certain types of unique functionals. The proof involves two types of Fourier coefficients. The first are semi-Whittaker coefficients, which generalize…
There is a two-component log-gas system with Boltzmann factor which provides an interpolation between the eigenvalue PDF for $\beta = 1$ and $\beta = 4$ invariant random matrix ensembles. The solvability of this log-gas system relies on the…
We present a study of {\it finite} $a$ and {\it volume} effects of the leptonic decay constant $f$ of heavy pseudoscalar mesons in the static approximation. This study is performed on a number of lattices at $\beta=$ 5.74,~6.0 and 6.26…
Motivated by the average partition function of c free bosons $($Afhkami-Jeddi et al. \cite{Afhk2021}$)$ and the average of the genus 1 partition function over the Narain moduli space $($Maloney-Witten \cite{Witten2020}$)$, we investigate…
We study spatial variations of the fine-structure constant in the presence of static straight cosmic strings in the weak-field approximation in Einstein gravity. We work in the context of a generic Bekenstein-type model and consider a gauge…
We study a proposal of D'Hoker and Phong for the chiral superstring measure for genus three. A minor modification of the constraints they impose on certain Siegel modular forms leads to a unique solution. We reduce the problem of finding…
Key issues of classical and quantum strings in gravitational plane waves, shock waves and spacetime singularities are synthetically understood. This includes the string mass and mode number excitations, energy-momentum tensor, scattering…
Inspired by the results of the Ising model within an imaginary external magnetic field, we introduce a transformation in quantum systems with a theta-vacuum term that amounts to a rescaling of z=cos(theta/2). Making use of this…
We study the zeros of theta functions $\Theta_{\Gamma_{4k}}$ associated with the lattices $\Gamma_{4k}$, a family of self-dual lattices generalizing the $\mathsf{E}_{8}$ lattice. Our results show two different behaviors of the zeros…
The equation for QCD string proposed earlier is reviewed. This equation appears when we examine the gonihedric string model and the corresponding transfer matrix. Arguing that string equation should have a generalized Dirac form we found…
Quantum theta functions were introduced by the author in [Ma1]. They are certain elements in the function rings of quantum tori. By definition, they satisfy a version of the classical functional equations involving shifts by the…
Classical oscillators of sextic and octic anharmonicities are solved analytically up to the linear power of \lambda (Anharmonic Constant) by using Taylor series method. These solutions exhibit the presence of secular terms which are summed…
Inspired by [Pan22], we give a new proof that for an overconvergent modular eigenform $f$ of weight $1+k$ with $k\in\mathbb{Z}_{\ge1}$, assuming that its associated global Galois representation $\rho_{f}$ is irreducible, then $f$ is…
We introduce certain lattice sums associated with hyperplane arrangements, which are (multiple) sums running over integers, and can be regarded as generalizations of certain linear combinations of zeta-functions of root systems. We also…

We present a construction of modular invariant partition functions for heterotic (0,2) supersymmetric classical string vacua. This generalization of Gepner's construction yields GUT gauge groups E_6, SO(10), SU(5) and SU(3) x SU(2) x…
Recent developments in string theory have reinforced the notion that the space of stable supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric string vacua fills out a ``landscape'' whose features are largely unknown. It is then hoped that progress in…
