String theory is the candidate for the unification of all fundamental interactions including gravity. In the past few years this active field of research has developed very rapidly and in several different directions. The aim of the conference is to give an overview of the status of the art in...
This rules out theories that say gravity should be much stronger over such small scales. In string theory, which is physicists’ best attempt so far to unify the forces of nature, space has six or seven extra dimensions – like the familiar threeexcept that they are curled up, perhaps as ...
Unimodular Gravity is a theory displaying Weyl rescalings of the metric and transverse (volume-preserving) diffeomorphisms as gauge symmetries, as opposed to the full set of diffeomorphisms displayed by General Relativity. Recently, we presented a systematic comparison of both theories, concluding that ...

High Energy Physics - TheoryThese are the lecture notes for the Les Houches Summer School on Quantum Gravity held in July 1992. The notes present some general critical assessment of other (non-string) approaches to quantum gravity, and a selected set of topics concerning what we have learned ...
In Principia, Newton formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation that formed the dominant scientific viewpoint until it was superseded by the theory of relativity. Newton used his mathematical description of gravity to prove Kepler's laws of planetary motion, account for tides, the ...

The low energy effective Lagrangian of string theory presents us with not only gravity, but the dilaton and the antisymmetric field as well. It is shown that a Brans-Dicke generalization of a metric theory of gravity with torsion that is derived as the exterior derivative of a potential is ...
Page 3 of 9 - String Theory Update - posted in Science! Astronomy & Space Exploration, and Others: Every theory that are mathematically coherents but not refuted yet should be equally considerated then. To put all the eggs in the same basket is not a w
In the very early universe, whose imprint we observe in the CMB, the quantum nature of gravity may become relevant. To this end, string theory remains the leading candidate for a consistent framework of quantum gravity; however, direct evidence for the stringy nature of gravity remains elusive....
