  2. 1. Heterotic Compactifications in the Era of Data Science

    Author : Robin Schneider; Magdalena Larfors; Yang-Hui He; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Calabi-Yau; string compactifications; machine learning; Theoretical Physics; Teoretisk fysik;

    Abstract : The goal of this thesis is to review and investigate recent applications of machine learning to problems in string theory. String theory, the leading candidate for a unification of gravity and the standard model of particle physics, requires the introduction of additional space-time dimensions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Making Maps and Keeping Logs : Quantum Gravity from Classical Viewpoints

    Author : Niklas Johansson; Ulf Danielsson; Jan de Boer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; String theory; black holes in string theory; Calabi-Yau geometry; flux compactifications; three-dimensional gravity; Mathematical physics; Matematisk fysik; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

    Abstract : This thesis explores three different aspects of quantum gravity. First we study D3-brane black holes in Calabi-Yau compactifications of type IIB string theory. Using the OSV conjecture and a relation between topological strings and matrix models we show that some black holes have a matrix model description. READ MORE

  5. 3. Aspects of vacuum moduli in string theory

    Author : Matthew Magill; Magdalena Larfors; James Sparks; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; string compactifications; g structures; homological algebra; Theoretical Physics; Teoretisk fysik;

    Abstract : In this thesis we explore geometric aspects of the space of vacua in supersymmetric string compactifications. More specifically, we will look at heterotic strings compactified on Calabi-Yau manifolds and, separately, G2 structure manifolds. READ MORE

  6. 4. Pierced, Wrapped and Torn : Aspects of String Theory Compactifications

    Author : Magdalena Larfors; Ulf Danielsson; Gary Shiu; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical physics; Matematisk fysik; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

    Abstract : An outstanding problem in physics is to find a unified framework for quantum mechanics and general relativity. This is required for a better understanding of black holes and the early cosmology of the universe. String theory provides such a unification. In this thesis, we study aspects of compactifications of type IIB string theory. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cosmoparticle Physics and String Theory

    Author : Stefan Sjörs; Marcus Berg; Joseph Conlon; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Supersymmetry; dark matter; cosmology; inflation; modifications of gravity; string theory; flux compactifications; perturbative string theory; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with phenomenological and theoretical aspects of cosmoparticle physics and string theory. There are many open questions in these topics. In connection with cosmology we would like to understand the detailed properties of dark matter, dark energy, generation of primordial perturbations, etc. READ MORE
