p-adic Strings Then and Now
Peter G. O. Freund
After a brief review of the idea and main results of the original p-adic string work, I describe the recent interest in p-adic strings in the context of AdS/CFT duality
Emergent Gauge Fields
Peter G. O. Freund
Erik Verlinde's proposal of the emergence of the gravitational force as an entropic force is extended to abelian and non-abelian gauge fields and to matter fields. This suggests a…
Dynamical Spin II
Peter G. O. Freund
The possibility of building all particles from spinless constituents is explored. Composite fermions are formed from bosonic carriers of electric and magnetic charge of a composite…
Diffractive Vector Meson Photoproduction from Dual String Theory
Peter G. O. Freund, Horatiu Nastase
We study diffractive vector meson photoproduction using string theory via AdS/CFT. The large behavior of the cross sections for the scattering of the vector meson on a prot…
Two-component Duality and Strings
Peter G. O. Freund
A phenomenologically successful two-component hadronic duality picture led to Veneziano's amplitude, the fundamental first step to string theory. This picture is briefly recalled a…
p-adic Strings and their Applications
Peter G. O. Freund
The theory of p-adic strings is reviewed along with some of their applications, foremost among them to the tachyon condensation problem in string theory. Some open problems are dis…
