Aspects of string field theory
(2021-05-11)In this dissertation we discuss both formal and practical aspects of string field theory. On the formal side, we investigate string vertices which are essential ingredients of string field theory constrained by the consistency ... -
From Petrov-Einstein to Navier-Stokes
(2014-06-06)The fluid/gravity correspondence relates solutions of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation to metrics which solve the Einstein equations. We propose propose two possible approaches to establish this correspondence: ... -
Higher Spin Holography
(2014-06-06)This dissertation splits into two distinct halves. The first half is devoted to the study of the holography of higher spin gauge theory in AdS$_3$. We present a conjecture that the holographic dual of $W_N$ minimal model ... -
String Theory and its Applications in Cosmology and Particle Physics
(2022-05-18)Finding experimental signatures of string theory is a central problem in modern physics. Recently, this problem has been revived in the context of the Swampland program. The purpose of this program is to identify the set ... -
The Swampland: from macro to micro
(2023-05-17)UV completing a gravitational theory, unlike many non-gravitational effective field theories (EFTs), is expected to be highly restrictive. This insight is rooted in black hole physics, which imposes a universality in ...
