Accelerating Universes and String Theory
This article reviews recent developments in the study of universes with a positive cosmological constant in string theory. 1. The Challenge of Time It is evident that the world around us changes in time. At cosmological scales there is strong evidence that the universe was much hotter and denser some 13 billion years ago and has expanded and cooled since then, probably even undergoing an early ...
متن کاملGödel Universes in String Theory
We show that homogeneous Gödel spacetimes need not contain closed timelike curves in low-energy-effective string theories. We find exact solutions for the Gödel metric in string theory for the full O(α) action including both dilaton and axion fields. The results are valid for bosonic, heterotic and super-strings. To first order in the inverse string tension α, these solutions display a simple r...

متن کاملSupersymmetric Gödel Universes in String Theory
Supersymmetric backgrounds in string and M-theory of the Gödel Universe type are studied. We find several new Gödel Universes that preserve up to 20 supersymmetries. In particular, we obtain an interesting Gödel Universe in M-theory with 18 supersymmetries which does not seem to be dual to a pp-wave. We show that not only T-duality but also the typeIIA/M-theory S-duality can give supersymmetric...
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY
The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...
