Boundary Rings and N=2 Coset Models

W. Lerche, J. Walcher

We investigate boundary states of N=2 coset models based on Grassmannians Gr(n,n+k), and find that the underlying intersection geometry is given by the fusion ring of U(n). This is…

On Superconnections and the Tachyon Effective Action

Mohsen Alishahiha, Harald Ita, Yaron Oz

We propose a form of the effective action of the tachyon and gauge fields for brane-antibrane systems and non-BPS Dp-branes, written in terms of the supercurvature. Kink and vortex…

Non-commutative Branes from M-theory

Yolanda Lozano

The analysis of the worldvolume effective actions of the M-theory Kaluza-Klein monopole and 9-brane suggests that it should be possible to describe non-abelian configurations of M2…

Standard Model Neutrinos as Warm Dark Matter

Gian F. Giudice, Edward W. Kolb, Antonio Riotto +2

Standard Model neutrinos are not usually considered plausible dark matter candidates because the usual treatment of their decoupling in the early universe implies that their mass m…

Space-Time Foam Effects on Particle Interactions and the GZK Cutoff

John Ellis, N. E. Mavromatos, D. V. Nanopoulos

Modelling space-time foam using a non-critical Liouville-string model for the quantum fluctuations of D branes with recoil, we discuss the issues of momentum and energy conservatio…

Space-time symmetries and simple superalgebras

Sergio Ferrara

We describe spinors in Minkowskian spaces with arbitrary signature and their role in the classification of space-time superalgebras and their R-symmetries in any dimension.

b Quark Physics with 2 .10^9 Z Bosons

A. Ali, D. Benson, I. Bigi +2

It has been suggested to realize a factory for 10^9 Z^0 through a linear e^+e^- collider with polarized beams. Very likely the relevant CP studies for B mesons will already have be…

Accelerating Photons with Gravitational Radiation

G. M. Shore

The nature of superluminal photon propagation in the gravitational field describing radiation from a time-dependent, isolated source (the Bondi-Sachs metric) is considered in an ef…

Dynamics of Symmetry Breaking and Tachyonic Preheating

Gary Felder, Juan Garcia-Bellido, Patrick B. Greene +3

We reconsider the old problem of the dynamics of spontaneous symmetry breaking using 3d lattice simulations, and develop a theory of tachyonic preheating, which occurs due to the s…

A light Higgs Boson would invite Supersymmmetry

John Ellis, Douglas Ross

If the Higgs boson weighs about 115 GeV, the effective potential of the Standard Model becomes unstable above a scale of about 10^6 GeV. This instability may be rectified only by n…
