A Novel Matrix Model for the M5-brane?
Manuel Artime, Ralph Blumenhagen, Thomas Raml
We provide a new formal extension of the BFSS matrix model by an additional 5-bracket. Maximal supersymmetry leads us to promote the BFSS 2-bracket structure constants to a dynamic…
Towards the Realization of the Dark Dimension Scenario in HoÅava-Witten Theory
Ralph Blumenhagen, Antonia Paraskevopoulou
It has been suggested that HoÅava-Witten theory could provide a concrete realization of the Dark Dimension Scenario. In this context, the observable Standard Model sector is natur…
Comments on the Emergence of 4D Topological Amplitudes in M-Theory
Manuel Artime, Ralph Blumenhagen, Aleksandar Gligovic +1
The M-theoretic Emergence Proposal claims that all of the terms in the low-energy action arise from quantum effects. After reviewing the current status of this proposal, we focus o…
Emergence of CY Triple Intersection Numbers in M-theory
Ralph Blumenhagen, Aleksandar Gligovic
To give more credence to the M-theoretic Emergence Proposal it is important to show that also classical kinetic terms in a low energy effective action arise as a quantum effect fro…
Emergence of -couplings in Heterotic/Type IIA Dual String Theories
Manuel Artime, Ralph Blumenhagen, Antonia Paraskevopoulou
The M-theoretic emergence proposal claims that in an isotropic decompactification limit to M-theory the full effective action is generated via quantum effects by integrating out on…
Non-associative Algebras of Cubic Matrices and their Gauge Theories
Ralph Blumenhagen, Antonia Paraskevopoulou, Thomas Raml
Motivated by M-theory, we define a new type of non-associative algebra involving usual and cubic matrices at the same time. The resulting algebra can be regarded as a two-term trun…
