Five-Brane Configurations, Conformal Field Theories and the Strong-Coupling Problem
E. Kiritsis, C. Kounnas, P. M. Petropoulos +1
Decoupling limits of physical interest occur in regions of space--time where the string coupling diverges. This is illustrated in the celebrated example of five-branes. There are s…
Towards the classification of Z2XZ2 fermionic models
A. E. Faraggi, C. Kounnas, S. E. M. Nooij +1
We develop a formalism that allows a complete classification of four-dimensional Z2XZ2 heterotic string models. Three generation models in a sub-class of these compactifications ar…
Conformal String Sector of M-Theory
Costas Kounnas
We consider a conformal system of a string and a particle defined in D=10+2 space-time dimensions. The extra time-like dimension is a gauge artifact and can be eliminated by choosi…
Non-perturbative Supersymmetry Breaking and Finite Temperature Instabilities in N=4 Superstrings
I. Antoniadis, J. -P. Derendinger, C. Kounnas
We obtain the non-perturbative effective potential for the dual five-dimensional N=4 strings in the context of finite-temperature regarded as a breaking of supersymmetry into four…
Direct T-violation measurements and T-odd effects in decay experiments
L. Alvarez-Gaume, C. Kounnas, S. Lola +1
Motivated by the recent experimental announcements for direct measurements of time-reversal non-invariance in the neutral kaon system, we make a comparative discussion of the CPLEA…
Universal Thermal Instabilities and the High-Temperature Phase of the N=4 Superstrings
Costas Kounnas
Using the properties of gauged N=4 supergravity, we show that it is possible to derive a universal thermal effective potential that describes all possible high-temperature instabil…
