Hu, Shan (2013-07-16)6d (2, 0) theory on M5 branes is investigated by considering its KK modes on a 2d space. Selecting KK modes on different 2d spaces amounts to choosing different set of selfdual strings as the perturbative degrees of freedom ...

Wu, Sean Daniel (2017-07-24)This work presents two searches for dark matter at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The first is focused on decays of the supersymmetric partner of the top quark, the stop quark (t). By exploiting vector boson fusion (VBF) ...

Xie, Dan (2011-07-11)New four dimensional N = 2 field theories can be engineered from compactifying six dimensional (2, 0) superconformal field theory on a punctured Riemann surface. Hitchin’s equation is defined on this Riemann surface and ...

Walker, Joel Wesley (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Explored in this report is the essential interconnectedness of Grand Unified and String Theoretic Phenomenology. In order to extract a modeled connection to low-energy physics from the context of superstring theory, it is ...

Guha, Sunny (2020-07-07)Analytic methods to solve conformal field theories (CFT) have yielded a lot of mileage in recent years. This dissertation builds up on these analytical techniques (lightcone methods and inversion formulas) and extends them ...

Dent, James Blackman (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)The cosmology in the Hubble expansion era of the Horava-Witten M-theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold is studied in the reduction to five-dimensions where the effects of the Calabi-Yau manifold are summarized by ...
-
Nagaraj, Balakrishnan (2022-08-25)We construct Lagrangians and show new Minkowski and de Sitter solutions with the presence of multiple chiral fields in a framework of 4d N = 1 no-scale supergravity in a unified way. The framework is chosen as it naturally ...
-
Liu, Wen (2016-06-14)In this dissertation, we analyze the spectrum of the Laplace operator on graphs. In particular, we are interested in generic eigenpairs. We consider a wide range of vertex conditions on vertices of a quantum graph. ...

Wang, Kechen (2012-10-19)This thesis describes the research I did during my Master's study. I investigated the stau-neutralino coannihilation region of the Mirage Mediation Model at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). By constructing five kinematic ...
-
Ghosh, Aditi (2013-10-22)Many areas of physics, engineering and applied mathematics require solutions of inhomogeneous biharmonic problems. For example, various problems on Stokes flow and elasticity can be cast into biharmonic boundary value ...
-
Bouas, Jeffrey David (2011-08-08)I review the construction of Hertz potentials in vector calculus starting from Maxwell's equations. From here, I lay the minimal foundations of differential geometry to construct Hertz potentials for a general (spatially ...

High mass diffractive dissociation at 27.5 GeV proton-proton interactions in exclusive final states Forbush, Michael James (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)A study of diffractive production in 27.5GeV/c proton-proton interactions is presented. The detector that was used to take the data and the techniques that were used to analyze the data are also discussed. The results are ...
