Non-BPS States and Branes in String Theory
read the original abstract
We review the recent developments in our understanding of non-BPS states and branes in string theory. The topics include 1) construction of unstable non-BPS D-branes in type IIA and type IIB string theories, 2) construction of stable non-BPS D-branes on various orbifolds and orientifolds of type II string theories, 3) description of BPS and non-BPS D-branes as tachyonic soliton solutions on brane-antibrane pair of higher dimension, and 4) study of the spectrum of non-BPS states and branes on a system of coincident D-brane - orientifold plane system. Some other related results are also discussed briefly.

Heterotic Ouroboros
A consistent set of rules from M-theory on S¹ ∨ S¹ combined with type I' enhancements reproduces the light spectra, gauge groups, and global structure of ten-dimensional heterotic string theories, with indications of ...

Thermodynamics vs Teleodynamics: A Cosmological Divide?
Stationary black holes obey ordinary thermodynamics but cosmology requires memory-bearing teleodynamics, with horizon memory causing deviations from the area law.
