The data from collider experiments and cosmic observatories indicates the existence of three light matter generations. In some classes of string compactifications the number of generations is related to a topological quantity, the Euler…
We present a complete classification of all 1D and 2D orbifold compactifications. There exist 2 one-dimensional and 17 two-dimensional orbifolds. The classification includes orbifolds such as S^1/Z_2 or T^2/Z_n, as well as less familiar…
We investigate a class of orientifold models based on tensor products of 18 Ising models. Using the same search criteria as for the comparable case of Gepner model orientifolds we find that there are no three-family standard model…
Replaced with revised (uncorrupted) version We present a general scheme for generating (2,2) symmetric fermionic string models and classify the models in D=8 and D=6 space time dimensions. We discuss the relationship to other…
We consider a six dimensional gauge theory compactified on $T^2/\mathbb{Z}_2$ with magnetic flux. The configurations of models are classified by winding numbers at the fixed points. Requiring the existence of generation numbers and Yukawa…
A list of forty third-order exactly integrable two-field evolutionary systems is presented. Differential substitutions connecting various systems from the list are found. It is proved that all the systems can be obtained from only two of…
We prove that, up to isomorphism and anti-isomorphism, there are only two semigroups which are the union of two copies of the free monogenic semigroup. Similarly, there are only nine semigroups which are the union of three copies of the…
We argue that there are two distinct classes of type I compactification to four dimensions on any space. These two classes are distinguished in a mysterious way by the presence (or absence) of a discrete 6-form potential. In simple…
There has been some confusion concerning the number of $(1,1)$-forms in orbifold compactifications of the heterotic string in numerous publications. In this note we point out the relevance of the underlying torus lattice on this number. We…
Using the simple current method we study a class of $(0,2)$ SCFTs which we conjecture to be equivalent to (0,2) sigma models constructed in the framework of gauged linear sigma models.
We classify compactification lattices for supersymmetric Z2 times Z2 orbifolds. These lattices include factorisable as well as non-factorisable six-tori. Different models lead to different numbers of fixed points/tori. A lower bound on the…
Systematic classification of Z2xZ2 orbifold compactifications of the heterotic-string was pursued by using its free fermion formulation. The method entails random generation of string vacua and analysis of their entire spectra, and led to…
Nonstandard parafermions are built and their central charges and dimensions are calculated. We then construct new N=2 superconformal field theories by tensoring the parafermions with a free boson. We study the spectrum and modular…
We classify complex compact parallelizable manifolds which admit flat torsion free holomorphic affine connections. We exhibit complex compact manifolds admitting holomorphic affine connections, but no flat torsion free holomorphic affine…
In this paper, we classify smooth 5-manifolds with fundamental group isomorphic to $\z/2$ and universal cover diffeomorphic to $S^2 \times S^3$. This gives a classification of smooth free involutions on $S^2 \times S^3$ up to conjugation.
We focus on two factorization systems for opfibrations in the 2-category Fib(B) of fibrations over a fixed base category B. The first one is the internal version of the so called comprehensive factorization, where the right orthogonal class…
In the paper we give a complete classification of $2$-dimensional evolution algebras over algebraically closed fields, describe their groups of automorphisms and derivation algebras.
We describe free differential algebras for non-abelian one and two form gauge potentials in four dimensions deriving the integrability conditions for the corresponding curvatures. We show that a realization of these algebras occurs in…
We consider the heterotic E8 X E8 string theory, which gives rise to four-dimensional Standard-like Models and allows for their SO(10) embedding. We investigate two different schemes of compactification: the free fermionic formulation and…
We study diffeomorphisms of compact, oriented surfaces, developing methods of distinguishing those which have positive factorizations into Dehn twists from those which satisfy the weaker condition of right veering. We use these to construct…
