Shift-Symmetries at Higher Order
Steven Abel, Richard J. Stewart
The fate of shift-symmetries in effective string models is considered beyond tree-level. Such symmetries have been proposed in the past as a way to maintain a hierarchically small…

Q-branes
Steven Abel, Alex Kehagias
Non-topological solitons (Q-balls) are discussed in some stringy settings. Our main result is that the dielectric D-brane system of Myers admits non-abelian Q-ball solutions on the…

Towards a Non-Supersymmetric String Phenomenology
Steven Abel, Keith R. Dienes, Eirini Mavroudi
Over the past three decades, considerable effort has been devoted to studying the rich and diverse phenomenologies of heterotic strings exhibiting spacetime supersymmetry. Unfortun…
