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…
Tachyon Condensation and the Emergence of Fermionic Strings from the Bosonic String
Francois Englert, Laurent Houart, Anne Taormina
The results conjectured here are based on tachyon condensation in compactified bosonic strings. They can in fact be proven from compactification alone, but this step was not treate…
Thermodynamics of Black Holes in Presence of String Instantons
Francois Englert, Laurent Houart, Paul Windey
The coupling of a Nambu-Goto string to gravity allows for Schwarzschild black holes whose entropy to area relation is , where is the string tension. The departur…
