Heterotic string theory remains a captivating framework in the pursuit of unifying quantum mechanics with gravity. By merging aspects of bosonic and supersymmetric strings, it provides a fertile ...

The five main string-theory candidates may all just be pieces of a larger, ... Type 1 string theory and ramp up its interaction strength, you end up with the weaker version of SO(32) heterotic.

However, the problem with string theory is that it is so flexible that it can explain almost anything, making it nearly ...

String theory is a complex theory that describes our reality with superstrings as the most basic and fundamental piece of all matter ... type IIA, type IIB, SO(32) heterotic, and E8xE8 heterotic).

Mathematicians are exploring a string duality between F-theory and heterotic string theory in eight dimensions. Simply put, string theory is a proposed method of explaining everything. Actually ...

String theory has long been presented as physicists' best candidate for describing the fundamental nature of the Universe.

String theory was supposed to explain all of physics. What went wrong? ... Type IIB, SO(32) heterotic, and E8xE8 heterotic. So now we have a slight embarrassment of riches.

Here we have investigated wormhole solutions in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-Dilaton (EGBd) theory, which corresponds to a simplified action that is motivated by the low-energy heterotic string theory.

Thomas Hill and Andreas Malmendier of Utah State University, and Adrian Clingher of the University of Missouri-St. Louis, explore a string duality between F-theory and heterotic string theory in ...
