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…
