We discuss the degeneracies of 4D and 5D BPS black holes in toroidal compactifications of M-theory or type II string theory, using U-duality as a tool. We generalize the 4D/5D lift to include all charges in N=8 supergravity, and compute the…

We consider the spectrum of BPS saturated states in $N = 2$ gauge theories in four dimensions. This spectrum may be discontinuous across real codimension one submanifolds of marginal stability in the moduli space of vacua. An example, which…
We study refined topological string theory in the presence of orientifolds by counting second-quantized BPS states in M-theory. This leads us to propose a new integrality condition for both refined and unrefined topological strings when…
We revisit $A_4$ flavor symmetry for the lepton sector with minimal Higgs sector, namely just one $A_4-$triplet SU(2)-doublet scalar. To increase predictivity even further, we impose the constraint of renormalizability. A geometric…
We study the resurgent structure of the refined topological string partition function on a non-compact Calabi-Yau threefold, at large orders in the string coupling constant $g_s$ and fixed refinement parameter $\mathsf{b}$. For…
We investigate one-loop four-point scattering of non-abelian gauge bosons in heterotic string theory and identify new connections with the corresponding open-string amplitude. In the low-energy expansion of the heterotic-string amplitude,…
We consider several aspects of `confining strings', recently proposed to describe the confining phase of gauge field theories. We perform the exact duality transformation that leads to the confining string action and show that it reduces to…
An extension of the two Higgs doublet model including inverse seesaw neutrinos and neutral Higgs bosons was constructed based on the $A_4$ symmetry in order to explain the recent neutrino oscillation data. This model can distinguish two…
By using BPS closed string, the entropy is calculated of the extremal five dimensional black hole consisting of Dirichlet onebranes, Dirichlet fivebranes and Kaluza-Klein momentum in the flat background approximation. In our formulations we…

Type I string theory can be dimensionally reduced on group manifolds. The compactification on $S^3\times S^3$ leads to the N=4 gauged SU(2)$\times$SU(2) supergravity in four dimensions, which admits the BPS monopole type non-Abelian vacuum.…

We develop a method to identify the BPS states in the Hilbert space of a supersymmetric field theory on a generic curved space which preserves at least two real supercharges. We also propose a one-to-one map between BPS states in…
We study half-BPS vortex-strings in four dimensional N=2 supersymmetric quiver theories with gauge group SU(N)^n X U(1). The matter content of the quiver can be represented by what we call a tetris diagram, which simplifies the analysis of…
