In this note we generalize the description of simple current extended Gepner Model orientifolds as presented in hep-th/0401148 to the case of even levels and non-trivial dressings of the parity transformation. We provide a comprehensive list of all the important ingredients for the construction of such orientifolds. Namely we present explicit expressions for the Klein-bottle, annulus and Möbius...

We consider a new approach to fermion masses and mixings in which no special “horizontal” dynamics is invoked to account for the hierarchical pattern of charged fermion masses and for the peculiar features of neutrino masses. The hierarchy follows from the vertical, family-independent structure of the model, in particular from the breaking pattern of the Pati-Salam group. The lightness of the f...

This paper considers the Einstein equations coupled with the nonabelian gauge and Higgs fields. It is shown that, when cosmic string solutions are sought in the Einstein-Georgi-Glashow system and the Einstein-Weinberg-Salam system governing the gravitational-electromagnetic-weak interaction forces, the self duality conditions lead to positive values of the cosmological constant which can be exp...

We give an elementary introduction to the theory of supermembranes. DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF ABDUS SALAM Based on lectures given at the T. A. S. I. Summer School, University of Colorado, Boulder, June 1996; the Topical Meeting, Imperial College, London, July 1996 and the 26th British Universities Summer School in Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics, University of Swansea, September 1996. ...

A generalization of the Yang-Mills covariant derivative, that uses both vector and scalar fields and transforms as a 4-vector contracted with Dirac matrices, is used to simplify and unify the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model. Since SU (3) assigns the wrong hypercharge to the Higgs boson, it is necessary to use a special representation of U (3) to obtain all the correct quantum numbers. A surplus ga...

The representation theory of the group U (1, q) is discussed in detail because of its possible application in a quaternion version of the Salam-Weinberg theory. As a consequence, from purely group theoretical arguments we demonstrate that the eigenvalues must be right-eigenvalues and that the only consistent scalar products are the complex ones. We also define an explicit quaternion tensor prod...

In this article, we study the stability of the space of asymptotic fermion states in (2 + 1)D, when long range interparticle interactions are present. This is done in the framework of bosonization, where the fermion propagator can be represented in terms of a vortex correlator. In particular, we discuss possible instabilities in the large distance behavior of the induced action for the vortex w...
