Self-duality and vacuum selection
Alon E. Faraggi
I propose that self-duality in quantum phase-space provides the criteria for the selection of the quantum gravity vacuum. The evidence for this assertion arises from two independen…
On the Number of Chiral Generations in Z2 X Z2 Orbifolds
Ron Donagi, Alon E. Faraggi
The data from collider experiments and cosmic observatories indicates the existence of three light matter generations. In some classes of string compactifications the number of gen…
Classification of the chiral Z2XZ2 fermionic models in the heterotic superstring
A. E. Faraggi, C. Kounnas, S. E. M. Nooij +1
The first particle physics observable whose origin may be sought in string theory is the triple replication of the matter generations. The class of Z2XZ2 orbifolds of six dimension…
Superstring Phenomenology in Light of LEP, KamLAND and WMAP
A. E. Faraggi
The experimental data of the past decade suggests that the quantum gravity vacuum should possess two key ingredients. The existence of three generations and their embedding in SO(1…
