Quantum Gravity Constraints from Unitarity and Analyticity (2015, background): “-level in the existing literature for the bosonic [19,20], type II [21–23], and heterotic string [22,23]. The type I string is dual to the heterotic string and has the same low-energy eﬀective action [18,24], so we need not consider it as a separate case. The resulting eﬀective theory is described b”
The statistical mechanics of near-BPS black holes (2020, methodology): “hirality: I 5 = +I; 5 I = I: (4.3) In analyzing the supersymmetry and dimensional reduction later, we will often instead use Dirac spinors where the chirality will be implicit. 24As explained in [79], compactication of either Type II theory on a Calabi-Yau threefold will always produce at least one”
Theoretical aspects of the equivalence principle (2012, background): “f dimensional transmutation [8, 9]. [Both mechanisms are rooted in the logarithmic nature of the Renormalization Group.] In addition, within the even more ambitious framework of (Super-)String theory [10] one expects that all the mechanisms we have been mentioning in Eqs. (2.4) –(2.7) take place sim”
