Flux Quantization on M-Strings

Pinak Banerjee, Hisham Sati, Urs Schreiber

The electric Gauss law in 11D SuGra is famously non-linear, whence its flux quantization must be in nonabelian cohomology. We have previously shown that the minimal admissible choi…

Higher-Spin and Higher-Point Constraints on Stringy Amplitudes

Ivano Basile, Grant N. Remmen, Georgina Staudt

We employ multiparticle factorization to constrain deformations of tree-level open string amplitudes. Assuming minimal degeneracy among intermediate states of the same spin up thro…

Torus Knots in Adjoint Representation

Andrei Mironov, Vivek Kumar Singh

We derive a closed-form expression for the adjoint polynomials of torus knots and investigate their special properties. The results are presented in the very explicit double sum fo…

Complete Topological Quantization of Higher Gauge Fields

Hisham Sati, Urs Schreiber

After global completion of higher gauge fields (as appearing in higher-dimensional supergravity) by proper flux quantization in extraordinary nonabelian cohomology, the (non-pertur…

Completeness from Gravitational Scattering

Francesco Calisto, Clifford Cheung, Grant N. Remmen +2

We prove that symmetry in the presence of gravity implies a version of the completeness hypothesis. For a broad class of theories, we demonstrate that the existence of finitely man…

Klein Bottle Cosmology

Brian Greene, Daniel Kabat, Janna Levin +1

We explore a higher-dimensional universe that is a product of Minkowski space and the nonorientable Klein bottle. The topology explicitly breaks important symmetries, such as trans…
