I partially review our current knowledge on microquasars, making special emphasis on radio interferometric observations, and I comment on emerging trends in this field of astrophysics.
I give a brief introduction to lattice QCD for non-specialists.
This is a quick survey of theoretical and experimental efforts to understand and identify the Odderon.
By exploiting recent arguments about stable nonsupersymmetric D-brane states, we argue that D-brane charge takes values in the K-theory of spacetime, as has been suspected before. In the process, we gain a new understanding of some novel…
1. Preliminaries. 2. Heterotic string and motivations for large volume compactifications; 2.1 Gauge coupling unification; 2.2 Supersymmetry breaking by compactification. 3. M-theory on S^1/Z_2 \times Calabi-Yau. 4. Type I/I' string theory…
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.
This is a short answer to the paper "A mid infrared study of low-luminosity AGNs with WISE" by R. Coziol et al. (ArXiv:1405.4159v1)
These lectures provide an introduction to the subject of tachyon condensation in the open bosonic string. The problem of tachyon condensation is first described in the context of the low-energy Yang-Mills description of a system of multiple…
Preface of Planetary Systems Beyond the Main Sequence including conference scope and summary, short overview of programme, acknowledgements of patronage, sponsors, the scientific organising committee, and the local organising committee.
We investigate boundary dynamics of orbifold conformal field theory involving T-duality twists. Such models typically appear in contexts of non-geometric string compactifications that are called monodrofolds or T-folds in recent literature.…
I study the enhancon mechanism for fractional D-branes in conifold and orbifold backgrounds and show how it can resolve the ``repulson'' singularity of these geometries. In particular I show that the consistency of the excision process…
The purpose of this note is to provide a gentle introduction to basic universal algebra and (abstract) clones.
We derive D-brane gauge theories for C^3/Z_n x Z_n orbifolds with discrete torsion and study the moduli space of a D-brane at a point. We show that, as suggested in previous work, closed string moduli do not fully resolve the singularity,…
The aim of this lecture is to review the basic physical ideas and some planetological results of the semiclassical theory of dense matter proposed by P.Savic and R.Kasanin
The D-3 brane is examined from the point of view of the wrapped M-theory five brane on a torus. In particular, the S-dual versions of the 3-brane are identified as coming from different gauge choices of the auxiliary field that is…

We examine the dynamics of a $Dp$-brane in the background of $k$ coincident, parallel $NS$5-branes which have had one of their common transverse directions compactified. We find that for small energy, bound orbits can exist at sufficiently…
We demonstrate theoretically that analogues of D-branes in string theory can be realized in rotating, phase-separated, two-component Bose-Einstein condensates and that they are observable using current experimental techniques. This study…
In this paper we will study the dynamics of a non-BPS Dp-brane in the background of N BPS Dk-branes.
