Embedding the Pentagon
T. Banks, S. Echols, J. L. Jones
The Pentagon Model is an explicit supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, which involves a new strongly-interacting SU(5) gauge theory at TeV-scale energies. We show that t…
Massive IIA flux compactifications and U-dualities
T. Banks, K. van den Broek
We attempt to find a rigorous formulation for the massive type IIA orientifold compactifications of string theory introduced in hep-th/0505160. An approximate double T-duality conv…
Matrix Theory
Tom Banks
This is an expanded version of talks given by the author at the Trieste Spring School on Supergravity and Superstrings in April of 1997 and at the accompanying workshop. The manusc…
The State of Matrix Theory
Tom Banks
This is a brief description of what has been accomplished and what remains to be done in the construction of a nonperturbative formulation of "The Theory Formerly Known as String".…
Quantum Moduli Spaces of String Theories
Tom Banks, Michael Dine
Generically, string models with supersymmetry are not expected to have moduli beyond perturbation theory; stringy non-perturbative effects as well as low energy field-theoret…
Coping With Strongly Coupled String Theory
T. Banks, M. Dine
String theory, if it describes nature, is probably strongly coupled. As a result, one might despair of making any statements about the theory. In the framework of a set of clearly…
