To a tachyon-free O (16) × O (16) heterotic string theory with anomaly-free properties in the low energy limit, we consider the anomaly of the compactified theory in 8, 6 and 4 dimensions. Furthermore, we investigate the global anomaly of the theory and discuss the compactified manifold which will give a consistent low energy theory.

We have applied the method of dualization to construct the coset realization of the bosonic sector of the [Formula: see text], D = 6 supergravity which is coupled to a tensor multiplet. The bosonic field equations are regained through the Cartan–Maurer equation which the Cartan form satisfies. The first-order formulation of the theory is also obtained as a twisted self-duality condition within the nonlinear coset construction.

Abstract Massive U(1) gauge theories featuring parametrically light vectors are suspected to belong in the Swampland of consistent EFTs that cannot be embedded into a theory of quantum gravity. We study four-dimensional, chiral U(1) gauge theories that appear anomalous over a range of energies up to the scale of anomaly-cancelling massive chiral fermions. We show that such theories must be UV-completed at a finite cutoff below which a radial mode must appear, and cannot be decoupled — a Stückelberg limit does not exist. When the infrared fermion spectrum contains a mixed U(1)-gravitational anomaly, this class of theories provides a toy model of a boundary into the Swampland, for sufficiently small values of the vector mass. In this context, we show that the limit of a parametrically light vector comes at the cost of a quantum gravity scale that lies parametrically below MP1, and our result provides field theoretic evidence for the existence of a Swampland of EFTs that is disconnected from the subset of theories compatible with a gravitational UV-completion. Moreover, when the low energy theory also contains a U(1)3 anomaly, the Weak Gravity Conjecture scale makes an appearance in the form of a quantum gravity cutoff for values of the gauge coupling above a certain critical size.

The recently found noncritical open string theories is reviewed. These open strings, noncommutative open string theories (NCOS), arise as consistent quantum theories describing the low energy theory of D-branes in a background electric B-field in the critical limit. Focusing on the D3-brane case, we construct the most general (3+1) NCOS, which is described by four parameters. We study S- and T-dualities of these theories and argue the existence of a U-duality group.

The effective action for the low energy scattering of two gravitons with a D-brane in the presence of a constant antisymmetric B field in bosonic string theory is calculated and the modification to the standard D-brane action to first order in α′ is obtained.

Conformally covariant equations for free spinor fields are determined uniquely by carrying out a descent to Minkowski space from the most general first-order rotationally covariant spinor equations in a six-dimensional flat space. It is found that the introduction of the concept of the "conformally invariant mass" is not possible for spinor fields even if the fields are defined not only on the null hyperquadric but over the entire manifold of coordinates in six-dimensional space.

We revisit the problem of the development of singularities in the gravitational collapse of an inhomogeneous dust sphere. As shown by Yodzis et al1, naked singularities may occur at finite radius where shells of dust cross one another. These singularities are gravitationally weak 2, and it has been claimed that at these singularities, the metric may be written in continuous form 2, with locally L∞ connection coefficients 3. We correct these claims, and show how the field equations may be reformulated as a first order, quasi-linear, non-conservative, non-strictly hyperbolic system. We discuss existence and uniqueness of generalized solutions of this system using bounded functions of bounded variation (BV) 4, where the product of a BV function and the derivative of another BV function may be interpreted as a locally finite measure. The solutions obtained provide a dynamical extension to the future of the singularity.
