Tropical Open Strings in a Kalb-Ramond Background
Sarthak Duary, Vi Hong, Sourav Maji
We study tropical open strings arising from the analytically continued action of tropological sigma models in the presence of a constant Kalb-Ramond background. We show that the ba…
Tropical Limits of Dirac Operators
Emil Albrychiewicz, Andrés Franco Valiente, Vi Hong
We explore the tropical analog of spinors by representing tropical geometries as foliated Riemann surfaces endowed with degenerate complex structures. We investigate tropical limit…
A Tropical Look at Coisotropic Branes and Quantization
Emil Albrychiewicz, Andrés Franco Valiente, Vi Hong
We continue our investigation of tropical branes by exploring the tropicalization of topological sigma models with boundaries. We show that the tropical limit naturally decomposes…
Tropical Branes
Emil Albrychiewicz, Andrés Franco Valiente, Vi Hong
We investigate canonically quantized open string solutions associated to the analytically continued action for the recently proposed tropical limit of topological A-type models, tr…
Search for Axions from Magnetic White Dwarfs with Chandra
Orion Ning, Christopher Dessert, Vi Hong +1
Low mass axion-like particles could be produced in abundance within the cores of hot, compact magnetic white dwarf (MWD) stars from electron bremsstrahlung and converted to detecta…
