Fictitious Extra Dimensions
Alon E. Faraggi
String theory requires additional degrees of freedom to maintain world-sheet reparameterisation invariance at the quantum level. These are often interpreted as extra dimensions, be…
Anthropics Versus Determinism in Quantum Gravity
Alon E. Faraggi
Recently the multitude of vacua in string theory have led some authors to advocate the anthropic principle as a possible resolution for the contrived set of parameters that seem to…
Towards the classification of Z2XZ2 fermionic models
A. E. Faraggi, C. Kounnas, S. E. M. Nooij +1
We develop a formalism that allows a complete classification of four-dimensional Z2XZ2 heterotic string models. Three generation models in a sub-class of these compactifications ar…
Phenomenological survey of M-theory
Alon E. Faraggi
The Standard Model data suggests that the quantum gravity vacuum should accommodate two pivotal ingredients. The existence of three chiral generations and their embedding in chiral…
Phenomenological aspects of M-theory
Alon E. Faraggi
The Standard Model data suggests the realization of grand unification structures in nature, in particular that of SO(10). A class of string vacua that preserve the SO(10) embedding…
Superstring Phenomenology - A Personal Perspective
Alon E. Faraggi
In the first part of this paper I review the construction of the realistic free fermionic models, as well as current attempts to study aspects of these models in the nonperturbativ…
