A study is made of the implications of heterotic string $T$-duality and extended gauge symmetry for the conjectured equivalence of heterotic and Type I superstrings. While at first sight heterotic string world-sheet dynamics appears to…

Recent developments in string theory have reinforced the notion that the space of stable supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric string vacua fills out a ``landscape'' whose features are largely unknown. It is then hoped that progress in…

We present explicit examples of semi-realistic heterotic models with spontaneously broken supersymmetry, which dynamically lead to breaking scales much smaller than $M_{\rm Planck}$ and exponentially small positive values for the…

We study the high energy thermodynamics of Little String Theory, using its holographic description. This leads to the entropy-energy relation $S=\beta_H E+\alpha\log E+O(1/E)$. We compute $\alpha$ and show that it is negative; as a…

Considering the type IIB superstring in a pp wave background some recent ideas and perspectives of Thermo Field Dynamics on string theory are presented. The thermal Fock space is constructed attempting to consider a possible finite…

We introduce a very early universe model based on the thermodynamics of a gas of closed strings in a background which is non-perturbative in $\alpha'$. Upon considering the fully $\alpha'$-corrected equations extended to include certain…

We argue that the holographic dual to little string theories at finite temperature suffers from a Gregory-Laflamme like instability, providing an alternative explanation to the results of hep-th/0012258.

We derive the free energies of both the closed heterotic, and the unoriented, open and closed, type I string ensembles, consistent with the thermal (Euclidean T-duality) transformations on the String/M Duality Web. A crucial role is played…

The data required for heterotic string theory with gauge group G, which for anomaly cancellation reasons must either be E8 x E8 or Spin(32)/Z2, consist of the following: a ten-dimensional space-time X and a principal G-bundle P. The fields…

I suggest the possibility of a new string in ten dimensions. Evidence for this string is presented both from orientifold physics and from K-theory, along with a mystery concerning the M-theory description. Motivated by this possibility,…

Chiral cosmic strings naturally arise in many particle physics models, in particular in supersymmetric theories with a D-term. These strings have a single fermion zero mode in the core. We derive the general equation of motion for such…

The Thermo Field Dynamics formalism is presented. In particular, it is applied to the two-dimensional field theory that describes a open bosonic string. The value of entropy operator is computed in various Dirichlet and Neumann boundary…

In string theory, a thermal state is described by compactifying Euclidean time on a thermal circle $S^{1}_{\beta}$, of fixed circumference. However, this circumference is a dynamical field which could vary in space, therefore thermal…

The ten dimensional heterotic string effective action with graviton, dilaton and antisymmetric tensor fields is dimensionally reduced to two spacetime dimensions. The resulting theory, with some constraints on backgrounds, admits infinite…

We study general non-supersymmetric heterotic string models, including so-called interpolating models, $d$-dimensionally compactified with the arbitrary number of freely acting $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ twisted directions. Taking the limits of the…

We extend the recently constructed double field theory formulation of the low-energy theory of the closed bosonic string to the heterotic string. The action can be written in terms of a generalized metric that is a covariant tensor under…

We analyse the dipole solution of heterotic string theory in four dimensions. It has the structure of monopole and anti-monopole connected by flux line (string). Due to growing coupling near the poles, the length of the string diverges.…

We calculate the free energy, energy and entropy in the matrix quantum mechanical formulation of 2D string theory in a background strongly perturbed by tachyons with the imaginary Minkowskian momentum $\pm i/R$ (``Sine-Liouville'' theory).…

Within the framework of thermofield dynamics, we construct a thermalized coherent thermal state, which is a general type of the coherent state with the thermal effects and can be presumably produced experimentally. The wavefunction and the…

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…
