For the linear string baryon model $q$-$q$-$q$ the small disturbances of its rotational motion (quasirotational states) are investigated. The spectrum of these states is obtained in the form of Fourier series and the complex…
Sequestering is a promising mechanism in 4D string models to reconcile high-scale inflation with low-energy supersymmetry. In this scenario the MSSM lives on branes at singularities and it is sequestered from the sources of supersymmetry…
If nature is described by string theory, and if the compactification radius is large (as suggested by the unification of couplings), then the theory is in a regime best described by the low energy limit of $M$-theory. We discuss some…
The physical properties of bound-state charged massive scalar field configurations linearly coupled to a spherically symmetric charged reflecting shell are studied {\it analytically}. To that end, we solve the Klein-Gordon wave equation for…
We study a closed hadronic string using pure glue lattice simulation. We measure the energy of the flux state encircling the periodic boundary condition (the torelon). From these data we deduce the string fluctuation component and compare…
We numerically investigate the transition of the static quark-antiquark string into a static-light meson-antimeson system. Improving noise reduction techniques, we are able to resolve the signature of string breaking dynamics for Nf=2…
We review the theory and phenomenology of effective supergravity theories based on orbifold compactifications of the weakly-coupled heterotic string. In particular, we consider theories in which the four-dimensional theory displays target…
Recently, it was pointed out that quantum orders and the associated projective symmetry groups can produce and protect massless gauge bosons and massless fermions in local bosonic models. In this paper, we demonstrate that a state with such…
We show that in the system of two fermions interacting by scalar exchange, the solutions for J$^{\pi}$=$0^+$ bound states are stable without any cutoff regularization, for values of the coupling constant $\alpha$ below a critical value…
The coupled Einstein-Dirac equations for a static, spherically symmetric system of two fermions in a singlet spinor state are derived. Using numerical methods, we construct an infinite number of soliton-like solutions of these equations.…
High-density fermion matter is meta-stable due to the anomalous non-conservation of baryon and lepton numbers in the electroweak theory. The meta-stable state decays by penetrating the sphaleron barrier separating topologically different…
We investigate the evolution of small perturbations around black strings and branes which are low energy solutions of string theory. For simplicity we focus attention on the zero charge case and show that there are unstable modes for a…
We calculate the self-energy of fermions in Landau level n, in a finite field. Two cases are considered, in which fermions couple either to gauge fluctuations (as in the composite fermion gauge theory) or to phonons, as an example of a…
The stability of matter composed of electrons and static nuclei is investigated for a relativistic dynamics for the electrons given by a suitably projected Dirac operator and with Coulomb interactions. In addition there is an arbitrary…
These lectures present some topics of string phenomenology and contain two parts. In the first part, I review the possibility of lowering the string scale in the TeV region, that provides a theoretical framework for solving the mass…
We consider various hadron models with a string carrying $n=3$ massive points (quarks): Y configuration, linear baryon model $q$-$q$-$q$ and the closed string. For these models classical rotational states (planar uniform rotations) are…
We generalize an efficient automata-based approach to string constraint solving, the stabilization-based method behind the solver Z3-Noodler, to support relational constraints represented by finite-state transducers (useful, for example,…
We study ultracold fermionic atoms trapped in an optical lattice with harmonic confinement by means of the dynamical mean-field approximation. It is demonstrated that a supersolid state, where an s-wave superfluid coexists with a…
The confinement of quarks in hadrons occurs due to formation of QCD string. At large separation between the quarks the QCD string breaks into pieces due to light quark-antiquark pair creation. We argue that there exist a critical background…
Following the recent ideas of Dryzek, Kato, Mu\~noz and Singleton \cite{R1} (henceforth we call this paper as R1), that the composite system consisting of an electron along with its screened electric field and within the sphere of…
