String-String triality for d=4, Z_2 orbifolds
We investigate the perturbative and non-perturbative correspondence of a
class of four dimensional dual string constructions with N=4 and N=2
supersymmetry, obtained as Z_2 or Z_2 x Z_2 orbifolds of the type II, heterotic
and type I string. In particular, we discuss the heterotic and type I dual of
all the symmetric Z_2 x Z_2 orbifolds of the type II string, classified in
hep-th/9901123. .Comment: latex, 50 pages, figures, final published versio
Cauchyness and convergence in fuzzy metric spaces
[EN] In this paper we survey some concepts of convergence and Cauchyness appeared separately in the context of fuzzy metric spaces in the sense of George and Veeramani. For each convergence (Cauchyness) concept we find a compatible Cauchyness (convergence) concept. We also study the relationship among them and the relationship with compactness and completeness (defined in a natural sense for each one of the Cauchy concepts). In particular, we prove that compactness implies p-completeness.Almanzor Sapena acknowledges the support of Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of Spain under grant TEC2013-45492-R.

Design Considerations for Unmagnetized Collisionless-shock Measurements in Homologous Flows
The subject of this paper is the design of practical laser experiments that can produce collisionless shocks mediated by the Weibel instability. Such shocks may be important in a wide range of astrophysical systems. Three issues are considered. The first issue is the implications of the fact that such experiments will produce expanding flows that are approximately homologous. As a result, both the velocity and the density of the interpenetrating plasma streams will be time dependent. The second issue is the implications of the linear theory of the Weibel instability. For the experiments, the instability is in a regime where standard simplifications do not apply. It appears feasible but non-trivial to obtain adequate growth. The third issue is collisionality. The need to keep resistive magnetic-field dissipation small enough implies that the plasmas should not be allowed to cool substantially.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/98554/1/0004-637X_749_2_171.pd
R^2 Corrections and Non-perturbative Dualities of N=4 String ground states
We compute and analyse a variety of four-derivative gravitational terms in
the effective action of six- and four-dimensional type II string ground states
with N=4 supersymmetry. In six dimensions, we compute the relevant perturbative
corrections for the type II string compactified on K3. In four dimensions we do
analogous computations for several models with (4,0) and (2,2) supersymmetry.
Such ground states are related by heterotic-type II duality or type II-type II
U-duality. Perturbative computations in one member of a dual pair give a
non-perturbative result in the other member. In particular, the exact CP-even
R^2 coupling on the (2,2) side reproduces the tree-level term plus NS 5-brane
instanton contributions on the (4,0) side. On the other hand, the exact CP-odd
coupling yields the one-loop axionic interaction a.R\wedge R together with a
similar instanton sum. In a subset of models, the expected breaking of the
SL(2,Z)_S S-duality symmetry to a \Gamma(2)_S subgroup is observed on the
non-perturbative thresholds. Moreover, we present a duality chain that provides
evidence for the existence of heterotic N=4 models in which N=8 supersymmetry
appears at strong coupling.Comment: Latex2e, 51 pages, 1 figur
Fast nonadiabatic dynamics of many-body quantum systems
Modeling many-body quantum systems with strong interactions is one of the core challenges of modern physics. A range of methods has been developed to approach this task, each with its own idiosyncrasies, approximations, and realm of applicability. However, there remain many problems that are intractable for existing methods. In particular, many approaches face a huge computational barrier when modeling large numbers of coupled electrons and ions at finite temperature. Here, we address this shortfall with a new approach to modeling many-body quantum systems. On the basis of the Bohmian trajectory formalism, our new method treats the full particle dynamics with a considerable increase in computational speed. As a result, we are able to perform large-scale simulations of coupled electron-ion systems without using the adiabatic Born-Oppenheimer approximation
Non-perturbative triality in heterotic and type II N=2 strings
The non-perturbative equivalence of four-dimensional N=2 superstrings with
three vector multiplets and four hypermultiplets is analysed. These models are
obtained through freely acting orbifold compactifications from the heterotic,
the symmetric and the asymmetric type II strings. The heterotic scalar
manifolds are (SU(1,1) / U(1))^3 for the S,T,U moduli sitting in the vector
multiplets and SO(4,4)/ (SO(4) X SO(4)) for those in the hypermultiplets. The
type II symmetric duals correspond to a self-mirror Calabi-Yau threefold
compactification with Hodge numbers h(1,1)=h(2,1)=3, while the type II
asymmetric construction corresponds to a spontaneous breaking of the N=(4,4)
supersymmetry to N=(2,0). Both have already been considered in the literature.
The heterotic construction instead is new and we show that there is a
weak/strong coupling S-duality relation between the heterotic and the
asymmetric type IIA ground state with S(Het)=-1/S(As); we also show that there
is a partial restoration of N=8 supersymmetry in the heterotic strong-coupling
regime. We compute the full (non-)perturbative R2 and F2 corrections and
determine the prepotential.Comment: Latex, no figures, 24 page
Non-Perturbative Gravitational Corrections in a Class of N=2 String Duals
We investigate the non-perturbative equivalence of some heterotic/type II dual pairs with N=2 supersymmetry. The perturbative heterotic scalar manifolds are respectively SU(1, 1)/U(1) x SO(2, 2+NV)/ SO(2) x SO(2+NV) and SO(4, 4+NH)/ SO(4) x SO(4+NH) for moduli in the vector multiplets and hypermultiplets. The models under consideration correspond, on the type II side, to self-mirror Calabi-Yau threefolds with Hodge numbers h(1,1)= NV +3= h(2,1)= NH +3, which are K3 fibrations. We consider three classes of dual pairs, with NV=NH=8, 4 and 2. The models with h(1,1)=7 and 5 provide new constructions, while the h(1,1)=11, already studied in the literature, is reconsidered here. Perturbative R2-like corrections are computed on the heterotic side by using a universal operator whose amplitude has no singularities in the (T,U) space, and can therefore be compared with the type II side result. We point out several properties connecting K3 fibrations and spontaneous breaking of the N=4 supersymmetry to N=2. As a consequence of the reduced S- and T- duality symmetries, the instanton numbers in these three classes are restricted to integers, which are multiples of 2, 2 and 4, for NV=8, 4 and 2, respectively
