Classification of order-two T-duality orbifolds at the SO(12) free fermionic point
Alon E. Faraggi, Stefan Groot Nibbelink, Benjamin Percival
Asymmetric orbifolds provide concrete examples of non-geometric constructions dubbed T-folds. All Z2 point groups of six dimensional asymmetric order-two orbifolds are identified.…
Fundamental or Composite? The Higgs Enigma
Alon E. Faraggi
The discovery of the Higgs boson by the ATLAS and CMS experiments concluded a glorious century of experimental particle physics discoveries, from Rutherford's discovery of the nucl…
Classification of Pati--Salam Asymmetric Heterotic String Orbifolds
Luke A. Detraux, Alon E. Faraggi, Benjamin Percival
We develop a systematic classification of asymmetric orbifold actions in Pati-Salam heterotic string vacua constructed in the free fermionic formulation. Starting fr…
A Perturbatively Stable Non-Supersymmetric String Model with AdS Vacuum
Ignatios Antoniadis, Alonzo R. Diaz Avalos, Alon E. Faraggi
We present a construction of a perturbatively stable non-supersymmetric type II closed string model in four dimensions. It is based on a freely acting Scherk-Schwarz Z2-deformation…
Mirror Symmetry and Spinor-Vector Duality: A Top-Down Approach to the Swampland Program
Alon E. Faraggi
Mirror symmetry is one of the celebrated developments in pure mathematics that arose from an initial observation in worldsheet string constructions. The profound implications of mi…
Experimental Particle Physics Priorities 2025: A String Phenomenology Perspective
Jonathan DeMont, Alon E. Faraggi, Mark Goodsell +1
With the SNOWMASS 2021 process in the US and the on--going European Strategy Report 2025, the field of elementary particle physics is undergoing detailed community evaluation, and…
