We study a class of flux compactifications that have all the moduli stabilised, a high (GUT) string scale and a low (TeV) gravitino mass that is generated dynamically. These non-geometric compactifications correspond to type II string…

We consider solutions to the nonlinear sigma model (wave maps) with target space S^3 and base space 3+1 Minkowski space, and we find critical behavior separating singular solutions from nonsingular solutions. For families of solutions with…

We derive the torsion constraints and show the consistency of equations of motion of four-dimensional Type II supergravity in superspace, with Type II sigma model. This is achieved by coupling the four-dimensional compactified Type II…

Turning on background fields in string theory sometimes has an alternative interpretation as a deformation of the target space geometry. A particularly well-known case is the NS-NS two form B, which gives rise to space-time…

Supergravity solutions describing supersymmetric rotating bound states of NS fivebranes, fundamental strings and momentum can sometimes have an ergoregion but no horizon. In such supersymmetric ergoregions, there is an unusual feature that…

The recently derived current algebra of classical non-linear sigma models on arbitrary Riemannian manifolds is extended to include the energy-momentum tensor. It is found that in two dimensions the energy-momentum tensor $\theta_{\mu\nu}$,…

We propose nonlinear semi-discrete and discrete models for the elastic energy induced by a finite systems of edge dislocations in two dimensions. Within the dilute regime, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of the nonlinear elastic energy,…

The definition of a positive energy is investigated in a renormalizable 4-dimensional generally covariant model, which depends on the lorentzian complex structure and not the metric of spacetime. The gravitational content of the lorentzian…

The quasilocal energy of gravitational and matter fields in a spatially bounded region is obtained by employing a Hamilton-Jacobi analysis of the action functional. First, a surface stress-energy-momentum tensor is defined by the functional…

We discuss in detail the possibility of determining dynamicaly the gravitino mass $m_{3/2}$, which is related to the supersymmetry breaking scale, within the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Using the complete MSSM spectrum, we…

Weinberg's energy-momentum pseudotensor is obtained for Schwarzschild metric in harmonic coordinates. On the horizon it possesses unintegrable singularities. For this reason the total energy of a collapsar can't be obtained by integrating…

This is a review aimed at a physics audience on the relation between Poisson sigma models on surfaces with boundary and deformation quantization. These models are topological open string theories. In the classical Hamiltonian approach, we…

We investigate classical dynamics of the bosonic string in the background metric, antisymmetric and dilaton fields. We use canonical methods to find Hamiltonian in terms of energy-momentum tensor components. The later are secondary…

The low-energy limits of models with disorder are frequently described by sigma models. In two dimensions, most sigma models admit either a Wess-Zumino-Witten or a theta term. When such a term is present the model can have a stable critical…

We discuss spherically symmetric, static solutions to the SU(2) sigma model on a de Sitter background. Despite of its simplicity this model reflects many of the features exhibited by systems of non-linear matter coupled to gravity e.g.…

We construct the energy-momentum tensor of the O(N) linear sigma model explicitly in the large N limit using the exact renormalization group (ERG) formalism. The energy-momentum tensor is obtained as a cutoff dependent functional of N…

General relativity is the theory with unclear energy momentum tensor. An approach is considered, allowing to construct the energy momentum tensor for relativity with nonsymmetric metric. A consequence of the approach is confirmed in the…

The relativistic Klein-Gordon system is studied as an illustration of Quantum Mechanics using non-Hermitian operators as observables. A version of the model is considered containing a generic coordinate- and energy-dependent…

Motivated by the apparent dependence of string $\sigma$--models on the sum of spacetime metric and antisymmetric tensor fields, we reconsider gravity theories constructed from a nonsymmetric metric. We first show that all such "geometrical"…

We propose a nonlocal scalar-tensor model of gravity with pseudodifferential operators inspired by the effective action of p-adic string and string field theory on flat spacetime. An infinite number of derivatives act both on the metric and…
