Supersymmetric AdS Backgrounds in String and M-theory
Jerome P. Gauntlett, Dario Martelli, James Sparks +1
We first present a short review of general supersymmetric compactifications in string and M-theory using the language of G-structures and intrinsic torsion. We then summarize recen…
Sasaki-Einstein Metrics on S^2 x S^3
Jerome P. Gauntlett, Dario Martelli, James Sparks +1
We present a countably infinite number of new explicit co-homogeneity one Sasaki-Einstein metrics on S^2 x S^3, in both the quasi-regular and irregular classes. These give rise to…
F-theory duals of M-theory on
Monika Marquart, Daniel Waldram
In this note, we use results of Aspinwall and Morrison to discuss the F-theory duals of certain orbifold compactifications of Hořava--Witten theory. In the M-theory li…
Standard Model Vacua in Heterotic M-Theory
Ron Donagi, Burt A. Ovrut, Tony Pantev +1
We present a class of N=1 supersymmetric ``standard'' models of particle physics, derived directly from heterotic M-theory, that contain three families of chiral quarks and leptons…
Standard Models from Heterotic M-theory
Ron Donagi, Burt A. Ovrut, Tony Pantev +1
We present a class of N=1 supersymmetric models of particle physics, derived directly from heterotic M-theory, that contain three families of chiral quarks and leptons coupled to t…
Cosmology and Heterotic M-Theory in Five-Dimensions
Andre Lukas, Burt A. Ovrut, Daniel Waldram
In these lectures, we present cosmological vacuum solutions of Horava-Witten theory and discuss their physical properties. We begin by deriving the five-dimensional effective actio…
