New Regulators for Quantum Field Theories with Compactified Extra Dimensions. II: Ultraviolet Finiteness and Effective Field Theory Implementation
Sky Bauman, Keith R. Dienes
In a previous companion paper [arXiv:0712.3532], we proposed two new regulators for quantum field theories in spacetimes with compactified extra dimensions. Unlike most other regul…
New Regulators for Quantum Field Theories with Compactified Extra Dimensions. I: Fundamentals
Sky Bauman, Keith R. Dienes
In this paper, we propose two new regulators for quantum field theories in spacetimes with compactified extra dimensions. We refer to these regulators as the ``extended hard cutoff…
Supersymmetry versus Gauge Symmetry on the Heterotic Landscape
Keith R. Dienes, Michael Lennek, David Sénéchal +1
One of the goals of the landscape program in string theory is to extract information about the space of string vacua in the form of statistical correlations between phenomenologica…
How to Extrapolate A String Model to Finite Temperature: Interpolations and Implications for the Hagedorn Transition
Keith R. Dienes, Michael Lennek
In this paper, we discuss the important question of how to extrapolate a given zero-temperature string model to finite temperature. It turns out that this issue is surprisingly sub…
Re-Identifying the Hagedorn Transition
Keith R. Dienes, Michael Lennek
The Hagedorn transition in string theory is normally associated with an exponentially rising density of states, or equivalently with the existence of a thermal string winding mode…
Thermal Duality Confronts Entropy: A New Approach to String Thermodynamics?
Keith R. Dienes, Michael Lennek
One of the most intriguing features of string thermodynamics is thermal duality, which relates the physics at temperature T to the physics at inverse temperature 1/T. Unfortunately…
