From brane dynamics to a Kac-Moody invariant formulation of M-theories
Francois Englert, Laurent Houart
Theories of gravity coupled to forms and dilatons may admit as solutions zero binding energy configurations of intersecting closed extremal branes. In such configurations, some bra…
The Bosonic Ancestor of Closed and Open Fermionic Strings
Francois Englert, Laurent Houart, Anne Taormina
We review the emergence of the ten-dimensional fermionic closed string theories from subspaces of the Hilbert space of the 26-dimensional bosonic closed string theory compactified…
A Brief Course in Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking II. Modern Times: The BEH Mechanism
Francois Englert
The theory of symmetry breaking in presence of gauge fields is presented, following the historical track. Particular emphasis is placed upon the underlying concepts.
Primordial Inflation
F. Englert
A macroscopic universe may emerge naturally from a Planck cell fluctuation by unfolding through a stage of exponential expansion towards a homogeneous cosmological background. Such…
Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Gauge Theories: a Historical Survey
R. Brout, F. Englert
The personal and scientific history of the discovery of spontaneous symmetry breaking in gauge theories is outlined and its scientific content is reviewed
On the black hole unitarity issue
F. Englert
I discuss features required for preserving unitarity in black hole decay and concepts underlying such a perspective. Unitarity requires that correlations extend on the scale of the…
