Closed string trajectories from a new "tiling"
Thomas Basile, Chrysoula Markou
Based on an efficient technology for the excavation of entire open string trajectories of physical states, we propose an algorithmic method of constructing the largely unknown clos…
Ultraviolet completion of Starobinsky inflation
Ignatios Antoniadis, Chrysoula Markou, Dimitri V. Nanopoulos
We construct an supergravity action whose bosonic part contains an arbitrary function of the scalar curvature, the so-called gravity. As in supergravity, it ca…
An introduction to string states and their interactions
Chrysoula Markou
The subject matter of these lecture notes is the open bosonic critical string, its perturbative spectrum and interactions. We begin with a brief review of classical string propagat…
On the deep string spectrum
Chrysoula Markou
These proceedings are based on the author's invited talk reviewing the original published work [1,2] of the author with collaborators. The subject matter is a new, covariant and ef…
On the deep superstring spectrum
Thomas Basile, Chrysoula Markou
We propose a covariant method of constructing entire trajectories of physical states in superstring theory in the critical dimension. It is inspired by a recently developed covaria…
An excursion into the string spectrum
Chrysoula Markou, Evgeny Skvortsov
We propose a covariant technique to excavate physical bosonic string states by entire trajectories rather than individually. The approach is based on Howe duality: the string's spa…
