Brane fusion in the bosonic string and the emergence of fermionic strings
Francois Englert, Laurent Houart, Anne Taormina
We review the emergence of the ten-dimensional fermionic closed string theories from subspaces of the Hilbert space of the 26-dimensional bosonic closed string theory compactified…

Tachyon Condensation and the Emergence of Fermionic Strings from the Bosonic String
Francois Englert, Laurent Houart, Anne Taormina
The results conjectured here are based on tachyon condensation in compactified bosonic strings. They can in fact be proven from compactification alone, but this step was not treate…

Intersection Rules for p-Branes
R. Argurio, F. Englert, L. Houart
We present a general rule determining how extremal branes can interesect in a configuration with zero binding energy. The rule is derived in a model independent way and in arbitrar…
