The type IIB matrix model is a promising nonperturbative formulation of superstring theory, which may elucidate the emergence of (3+1)-dimensional space-time. However, the partition function is divergent due to the Lorentz symmetry, which…

The classification of one parameter local Coulomb branch solution of theories with eight supercharges is given by assuming that it is given by a genus $g$ fiberation of Riemann surfaces. The crucial point is the fact that certain conjugacy…

We explore the moduli space of heterotic strings in two dimensions. In doing so, we introduce new lines of compactified theories with Spin(24) gauge symmetry and discuss compactifications with Wilson lines. The phase structure of d=2…

The supersymmetric flipped $SU(6)\times U(1)$ gauge symmetry can arise through compactification of the ten dimensional $E_8\times E_8$ superstring theory. We show how realistic phenomenology can emerge from this theory by supplementing it…

We consider type IIA/B strings in two-dimensions and their projection with respect to the nilpotent space-time supercharge. Based on the ground ring structure, we propose a duality between perturbed type II strings and the topological…

We study surface defects in 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ $SU(N)$ superconformal gauge theories of class $\mathcal{S}_k$ obtained from the 6d (1,0) theories of type $A_{N-1}$, which are worldvolume theories on $N$ M5-branes at…

Generalised Complex Geometry provides a natural interpretation of the $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry conditions for warped solutions of type II supergravity as differential equations on polyforms on the internal manifold. Written in this…

We use the recently found matrix description of noncritical superstring theory of Type 0A to compute tachyon scattering amplitudes in a background with a RR flux. We find that after the string coupling is multiplicatively renormalized, the…

We prove the existence of a one parameter family of minimal embedded hypersurfaces in $R^{n+1}$, for $n \geq 3$, which generalize the well known 2 dimensional "Riemann minimal surfaces". The hypersurfaces we obtain are complete, embedded,…

We study the existence of diagonal representatives in each equivalence class of representation matrices of boundary conditions in $SU(n)$ or $U(n)$ gauge theories compactified on the orbifolds $T^2/{\mathbb Z}_N$ ($N = 2, 3, 4, 6$). We…

We construct local and global moduli spaces of supersymmetric curves with Ramond-Ramond punctures. We assume that the underlying ordinary algebraic curves have a level n structure and build these supermoduli spaces as algebraic superspaces,…

We extend our previous construction of global solutions to Type IIB supergravity that are invariant under the superalgebra $F(4)$ and are realized on a spacetime of the form $AdS_6 \times S^2$ warped over a Riemann surface $\Sigma$ by…

We propose a natural $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$-graded generalisation of $d=2$, $\mathcal{N}=(1,1)$ supersymmetry and construct a $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-space realisation thereof. Due to the grading, the supercharges close with respect…

We consider the S-matrix of transverse scalar excitations on an infinite $D=10$ GS superstring and $D=11$ supermembrane in flat target space. We compute the 4-particle scattering amplitude in the 2-loop approximation and demonstrate that,…

We study a mechanism of symmetry transition upon compactification of a 5-dimensional field theory on $S^1/Z_2$. The transition occurs unless all components in a multiplet of a symmetry group have a common $Z_2$ parity on $S^1/Z_2$. This…

We review a formalism of superstring quantization with manifest six-dimensional spacetime supersymmetry, and apply it to AdS_3 x S^3 backgrounds with Ramond-Ramond flux. The resulting description is a conformal field theory based on a sigma…

Given a spherical variety X for a group G over a non-archimedean local field k, the Plancherel decomposition for L^2(X) should be related to "distinguished" Arthur parameters into a dual group closely related to that defined by Gaitsgory…

We discuss a set of heterotic and type II string theory compactifications to 1+1 dimensions that are characterized by factorized internal worldsheet CFTs of the form $V_1\otimes \bar V_2$, where $V_1, V_2$ are self-dual (super) vertex…

Aspects of superstring cosmology are reviewed with an emphasis on the cosmological implications of duality symmetries in the theory. The string effective actions are summarized and toroidal compactification to four dimensions reviewed.…

We consider isolated horizons (Killing horizons up to the second order) whose null flow has the structure of a U(1) principal fiber bundle over a compact Riemann surface. We impose the vacuum Einstein equations (with the cosmological…
