Unorientable supersymmetric compactifications of M-theory
Ilarion V. Melnikov, Ruben Minasian
We discuss orbifold compactifications of the type II string, where the orbifold combines a free action on a base manifold and the symmetry which…
Integral cubic form of 5D minimal supergravities and non-perturbative anomalies in 6D (1,0) theories
Peng Cheng, Michael N. Milam, Ruben Minasian
A five-dimensional minimal supergravity theory coupled to vector and hypermultiplets is specified by a set of trilinear couplings, given by an intersection form , and grav…
SymTFT for Continuous Symmetries: Non-linear Realizations and Spontaneous Breaking
Federico Bonetti, Michele Del Zotto, Ruben Minasian
It is well known that continuous symmetries of quantum fields can be realized non-linearly, e.g. in the context of sigma models, and can also be spontaneously broken on non-compact…
The stringy geometry of integral cohomology in mirror symmetry
Peng Cheng, Ilarion V. Melnikov, Ruben Minasian
We examine the physical significance of torsion co-cycles in the cohomology of a projective Calabi-Yau three-fold for the (2,2) superconformal field theory (SCFT) associated to the…
Topology change and heterotic flux vacua
Dan Israel, Ilarion V. Melnikov, Ruben Minasian +1
We investigate the interrelation between topology and Narain T-duality of heterotic flux vacua. We present evidence that all 5 and 4-dimensional Minkowski space heterotic flux back…
A Note on the Geometry of CHL Heterotic Strings
W. Lerche, R. Minasian, C. Schweigert +1
We present a few remarks on disconnected components of the moduli space of heterotic string compactifications on . We show in particular how the eight dimensional CHL heteroti…
The Octonionic Membrane
M. J. Duff, J. M. Evans, R. R. Khuri +2
We generalize the supermembrane solution of D=11 supergravity by permitting the 4-form to be either self-dual or anti-self-dual in the eight dimensions transverse to the membra…
Evidence for Heterotic/Heterotic Duality
M. J. Duff, R. Minasian, Edward Witten
We re-examine the question of heterotic - heterotic string duality in six dimensions and argue that the heterotic string, compactified on with equal instanton…
Putting string/string duality to the test
M. J. Duff, R. Minasian
After simultaneous compactification of spacetime and worldvolume on , the heterotic fivebrane with gauge group behaves like a heterotic string with gauge…
