Heterotic string theory

In string theory, a heterotic string is a closed string (or loop) which is a hybrid ('heterotic') of a superstring and a bosonic string. There are two kinds of heterotic string, the heterotic SO(32) and the heterotic E8 × E8, abbreviated to HO and HE. Heterotic string theory was first developed in 1985 by David Gross, Jeffrey Harvey, Emil Martinec, and Ryan Rohm (the so-called "Princeton string quartet"), in one of the key papers that fueled the first superstring revolution.

String Theory Overview

In physics, string theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. String theory describes how these strings propagate through space and interact with each other. On distance scales larger than

String theory pros and cons

In this video I explain why so many physicists believe in string theory but that it also comes with a number of problems. It requires the existence of additional dimensions of space (which we do not see), of new particles (which we do not see), and of new fields (leading to deviations from

Washington Taylor - How Natural is the Standard Model in the String Landscape?

Mike's pioneering work in taking a statistical approach to string vacua has contributed to an ever-improving picture of the landscape of solutions of string theory. In this talk, we explore how such statistical ideas may be relevant in understanding how natural different realizations of th

Homotopic, Enantiotopic, Diastereotopic, and Heterotopic Protons

In doing NMR spectroscopy, we must be able to predict chemical shifts for a variety of protons. When comparing specific pairs of protons, we can assign them a few different relationships, those being homotopic, enantiotopic, diasteretopic, and heterotopic. Let's see what these words mean a
