Old Ideas for New Physicists 2
T. Banks
We review ideas relating the breaking of Supersymmetry in de Sitter (dS) space-time to amplitudes in which gravitinos are reflected from the dS horizon. A self consistent evaluatio…
Finite Deformations of Quantum Mechanics
T. Banks
We investigate modifications of quantum mechanics (QM) that replace the unitary group in a finite dimensional Hilbert space with a finite group and determine the minimal sequence o…
On the Limits of Effective Quantum Field Theory: Eternal Inflation, Landscapes, and Other Mythical Beasts
T. Banks
We recapitulate multiple arguments that Eternal Inflation, and the String Landscape are actually part of the Swampland: ideas in Effective Quantum Field Theory that do not have a c…
Holographic Space-time Models in Dimensions
T. Banks
We construct Holographic Space-time models that reproduce the dynamics of dimensional string theory. The necessity for a dilaton field in the effective Lagrangian f…
The Super BMS Algebra, Scattering and Holography
T. Banks
I propose that the proper framework for gravitational scattering theory is the rep- resentation theory of the super-BMS algebra of Awada, Gibbons and Shaw[1], and its generalizatio…
Supersymmetry Breaking and the Cosmological Constant
T. Banks
I review three attempts to explain the small value of the cosmological constant, and their connection to SUSY breaking. They are The String Landscape, Supersymmetric Large Extra Di…
