String condensation: Nemesis of Black Holes?
Michael Hewitt
This paper puts forward a conjecture that there are no black holes in M theory. We will show that a mechanism to prevent black hole formation is needed in 4 dimensions to make stri…
Thermal Duality and Gravitational Collapse
Michael Hewitt
Thermal duality is a relationship between the behaviour of heterotic string models of the or types at inversely related temperatures, a variant of T duality i…
Thermal duality and gravitational collapse in heterotic string theories
Michael Hewitt
The thermal duality of E(8) x E(8) and SO(32) heterotic string theories may underpin a mechanism that would convert the kinetic energy of infalling matter during gravitational coll…
Superconformal anomaly free models in D=4
Michael Hewitt
A family of modified heterotic string models in D=4 is constructed in which the strings incorporate flux tubes which may in special cases support a local spacetime supe…
Supersymmetry breaking and 4 dimensional string models
Michael Hewitt
A family of superpotentials is constructed which may be relevant to supersymmetry breaking in 4 dimensional (0,1) heterotic string models. The scale of supersymmetry breaking, as w…
Vacuum instability and gravitational collapse
Michael Hewitt
We argue that heterotic string models with 4 non-heterotic spacetime dimensions may provide an instability of the vacuum to gravitational polarization in globally strong gr…
