Classification of Pati--Salam Asymmetric Heterotic String Orbifolds
Luke A. Detraux, Alon E. Faraggi, Benjamin Percival
The paper systematically classifies asymmetric \(\mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{Z}_2\) orbifold actions in free‑fermionic Pati‑Salam heterotic string vacua, analyzing their impact on ge…
Fundamental or Composite? The Higgs Enigma
Alon E. Faraggi
The discovery of the Higgs boson by the ATLAS and CMS experiments concluded a glorious century of experimental particle physics discoveries, from Rutherford's discovery of the nucl…
A Perturbatively Stable Non-Supersymmetric String Model with AdS Vacuum
Ignatios Antoniadis, Alonzo R. Diaz Avalos, Alon E. Faraggi
We present a construction of a perturbatively stable non-supersymmetric type II closed string model in four dimensions. It is based on a freely acting Scherk-Schwarz Z2-deformation…
Mirror Symmetry and Spinor-Vector Duality: A Top-Down Approach to the Swampland Program
Alon E. Faraggi
Mirror symmetry is one of the celebrated developments in pure mathematics that arose from an initial observation in worldsheet string constructions. The profound implications of mi…
Experimental Particle Physics Priorities 2025: A String Phenomenology Perspective
Jonathan DeMont, Alon E. Faraggi, Mark Goodsell +1
With the SNOWMASS 2021 process in the US and the on--going European Strategy Report 2025, the field of elementary particle physics is undergoing detailed community evaluation, and…
Vacuum Energy in Non-Supersymmetric Quasi-Realistic Heterotic-String Vacua with Fixed Moduli
Eman Basaad, Luke A. Detraux, Alonzo R. Diaz Avalos +2
Recently, Baykara, Tarazi and Vafa discussed the existence of quasicrystalline string vacua that contain a single neutral moduli, the dilaton, and studied compactifications of the…
