    • Aspects of 7d and 6d gauged supergravities 
      Jong, Der-Chyn (2009-05-15)
      We determine the conditions under which half-maximal matter coupled gauged supergravity in seven dimensions admits a chiral circle reduction to yield a matter coupled gauged supergravity in six dimensions with 8 real ...
    • Beyond E 11 
      Bossard, Guillaume; Kleinschmidt, Axel; Palmkvist, Jakob; Pope, Christopher N.; Sezgin, Ergin (Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017)
    • Black Holes And Their Entropy 
      Mei, Jianwei (2010-10-12)
      This dissertation covers two di erent but related topics: the construction of new black hole solutions and the study of the microscopic origin of black hole entropy. In the solution part, two di erent sets of new solutions ...
    • Charmonium absorption and charmed hadron production in hadronic reactions 
      Liu, Wei (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
      A gauged SU(4) flavor symmetric hadronic Lagrangian with empirical hadron masses is constructed to study charmonium absorption and charmed hadron production in hadronic reactions. For the coupling constants, empirical ...
    • GUT and standard-like models in intersecting D-brane worlds 
      Chen, Ching-Ming (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
      The main goal of string phenomenology is to find a convincing connection be- tween realistic particle physics and string theory. An extended object called D-brane in string theory is shown as a very powerful tool to resolve ...
    • On Consistent Kaluza-Klein-Pauli Reductions 
      Azizi, Arash (2018-08-01)
      Kaluza-Klein dimensional reduction is an indispensable ingredient of the theoretical physics, since, M-theory and superstring theories are consistent in eleven and ten dimensions and thus, to make a connection to our ...
    • Phenomenological implications of three generation heterotic string models 
      Wu, Jizhi (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)
      This dissertation is devoted to the study of the phenomenological consequences of the three-generation heterotic string models based on the Calabi-Yau compactifications and the N = 2 superconformal constructions.
    • Phenomenology of heterotic and type II orientifold string models 
      Mayes, Van Eric (2009-05-15)
      Cryptons are metastable bound states of fractionally-charged particles that arise generically in the hidden sectors of models derived from heterotic string. We study their properties and decay modes in a specific flipped ...
    • A study of four-jet events and search for double parton interactions with the collider detector at Fermilab 
      Keeble, Louis Joseph (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)
    • Supergravities with positive definite potentials and AdS pp-waves 
      Kerimo, Johannes (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
      Ten-dimensional superstring theory (or the conjectured nonperturbative Mtheory in eleven dimensions) is the most promising candidate for a consistent quantum theory of gravity capable of unifying all known forces of ...
    • Supersymmetric extended objects 
      Lu, Jianxin (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)
      Some recent advances in supermembrane theory are reported in detail, mainly concerning the heterotic fivebrane, string/fivebrane duality, the new Type II supermembranes and associated topics. In analogy with the Dirac ...
    • SUSY phenomenology 
      Hu, Bo (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
      Supersymmetric extensions to the Standard Model (SM) have many interesting experimental consequences which can provide important hints to the physics beyond the SM. In this thesis, we first study the anomalous magnetic ...
    • W algebras and W strings 
      Lu, Hong (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)
      In this dissertation, we study various aspects of W algebras and W strings, which are generalisations of the bosonic string theory with higher-spin world-sheet symmetries. We present a simple procedure for constructing the ...
