2. 1. 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

4. 2. 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

5. 3. 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
