We discuss vacuum energy in string and M-theory with a focus on heterotic M-theory. In the latter theory a mechanism is described for maintaining zero vacuum energy after supersymmetry breaking. Higher-order corrections can be expected to…
We consider the equations of motion of the full heterotic string field theory including both the Neveu-Schwarz and the Ramond sectors. It is shown that they can be formulated in the form of an infinite number of first-order equations for an…
We discuss two dimensional string theories containing gauge fields introduced either via coupling to open strings, in which case we get a Born-Infeld type action, or via heterotic compactification. The solutions to the modified background…
We derive the ten-dimensional effective action of the strongly coupled heterotic string as the low energy limit of M-theory on S^1/Z_2. In contrast to a conventional dimensional reduction, it is necessary to integrate out nontrivial heavy…
We find the comlete solution to ten-dimensional supergravity coupled to a three-form field strength, given the ``standard ansatz" for the fields, and show that in addition to the well-known elementary and solitonic (heterotic) string…
The retarded Green function of the electromagnetic field in spacetime of a straight thin cosmic string is found. It splits into a geodesic part (corresponding to the propagation along null rays) and to the field scattered on the string.…

We show that stable local cosmic strings are a generic prediction of supersymmetric models where supersymmetry is broken at scales within a few orders of magnitude of the weak scale and is fed down to the observable sector by gauge…
A family of exact conformal field theories is constructed which describe charged black strings in three dimensions. Unlike previous charged black hole or extended black hole solutions in string theory, the low energy spacetime metric has a…
