A Quantum-Mechanical Model for the M5-Brane

Manuel Artime, Ralph Blumenhagen, Thomas Raml

We present a maximally supersymmetric extension of the BFSS matrix model based on the 5-Lie algebra . The theory is Lagrangian, promotes the BFSS 2-bracket structur…

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 Hořava-Witten Theory

Ralph Blumenhagen, Antonia Paraskevopoulou

It has been suggested that Hořava-Witten theory could provide a concrete realization of the Dark Dimension Scenario. In this context, the observable Standard Model sector is natura…

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…

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…

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…

Reflections on an M-theoretic Emergence Proposal

Ralph Blumenhagen, Niccolò Cribiori, Aleksandar Gligovic +1

In a pedagogical manner, we review recent developments in the investigation of the Emergence Proposal. Although it is fair to say that this idea is still at an exploratory level an…

Emergence of -terms in M-theory

Ralph Blumenhagen, Niccolò Cribiori, Aleksandar Gligovic +1

It has been recently suggested that the strong Emergence Proposal is realized in M-theory limits by integrating out all light towers of states with a typical mass scale not larger…
