The cosmological constant and electroweak hierarchy problem have been a great inspiration for research. Nevertheless, the resolution of these two naturalness problems remains mysterious from the perspective of a low-energy effective field…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author. This draft is withdrawn for its poor quality in english, unfortunately produced by the author when he was just starting his science route. Look at the ICML version instead:…
This is a completely reformulated presentation of a previous paper with the same title; this time with a much stronger emphasis on conceptual aspects of string theory and a detailed review of its already more than four decades lasting…
To make progress in learning the underlying fundamental theory, it will be necessary to combine bottom-up phenomenology and top-down analysis -- in particular, top-down is unlikely to succeed alone. Here I elaborate on the role of both, and…
An influential theorem by Satosi Watanabe convinced many that there can be no physical probabilistic theory with both non-trivial forward and backward transition probabilities. We show that this conclusion does not follow from the theorem.…
The paper is withdrawn by the author due to an oversimplified and misleading approach which was taken initially as a starting point.
In these lecture proceedings, we describe some of the fundamental mathematical concepts that underlie supersymmetric string theory and field theory, and their role in describing and testing dualities. In particular, we provide a pedagogical…
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors. The authors have now written two separate papers, one theoretical (A. Smerzi, A. Trombettoni, P. G. Kevrekidis, and A. R. Bishop Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 170402 (2002)) and one experimental (F. S.…
We show that a recent proposal by Nambu to generate a hierarchy among Yukawa couplings in the standard model may be easily implemented in superstring models. In such models, two of the main ingredients of the Nambu proposal find a natural…
Superstring theories are very promising theoretically, but the enormous landscape of string vacua and the (likely) very large underlying string scale imply that they may never be tested directly. Nevertheless, concrete constructions…
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors after discussing its content with Dr. J. Madsen.
This paper has been temporarily withdrawn by the author because there are errors in it that require further study.
In a recent article, Falessi et al. (2017) call for a deeper understanding of the pros and cons of using students and professionals in experiments. The authors state: we have observed too many times that our papers were rejected because we…
In this note, we review the recent developments in the string field theory in the temporal gauge. (Based on a talk presented by N.I. in the workshop {\it Quantum Field Theory, Integrable Models and Beyond}, Yukawa Institute for Theoretical…
The paper has been withdrawn by the author because the observed effect has a different origin.
This paper was withdrawn by the author because severe errors were discovered.
There is a technical issue in the analysis that is not easily fixable. We, therefore, withdraw the submission. Sorry for the inconvenience.
This paper has been withdrawn.
We develop the idea for a new string field theory of ours that was proposed earlier in a very rudimentary form in a talk in the Symposium of Tohwa University [1]. The main point is to describe the system of strings in the Universe by means…
These notes on string theory are based on a series of talks I gave during my graduate studies. As the talks, this introductory essay is intended for young students and non-string theory physicists.
