Non-Supersymmetric Heterotic Strings on a Circle

Kavli Affiliate: Savdeep Sethi | First 5 Authors: Bernardo Fraiman, Mariana Graña, Héctor Parra De Freitas, Savdeep Sethi, | Summary: Motivated by a recent construction of non-supersymmetric $text{AdS}_3$, we revisit the $O(16)times O(16)$ heterotic string compactified on a torus. The string one-loop potential energy has interesting dependence on the classical moduli; extrema of this potential […]

Freeform three-mirror anastigmatic large-aperture telescope and receiver optics for CMB-S4

Kavli Affiliate: John Carlstrom | First 5 Authors: Patricio A. Gallardo, Roberto Puddu, Kathleen Harrington, Bradford Benson, John Carlstrom | Summary: CMB-S4, the next-generation ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) observatory, will provide detailed maps of the CMB at millimeter wavelengths to dramatically advance our understanding of the origin and evolution of the universe. CMB-S4 will […]

Entanglement Suppression, Enhanced Symmetry and a Standard-Model-like Higgs Boson

Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Marcela Carena, Ian Low, Carlos E. M. Wagner, Ming-Lei Xiao, | Summary: We study information-theoretic properties of scalar models containing two Higgs doublets $Phi_a$, where $a=1,2$ is the flavor quantum number. Considering the 2-to-2 scattering $Phi_a Phi_b to Phi_c Phi_d$ as a two-qubit system in the flavor […]

AdS3 Orbifolds, BTZ Black Holes, and Holography

Kavli Affiliate: Emil J. Martinec | First 5 Authors: Emil J. Martinec, , , , | Summary: Conical defects of the form $(AdS_3times S^3)/Z_k$ have an exact orbifold description in worldsheet string theory, which we derive from their known presentation as gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten models. The configuration of strings and fivebranes sourcing this geometry is well-understood, […]
