Statement of Interest:


  Currently mostly interested in looking for nonsupersymmetric and
stable objects in IIA string theory – on K3 or CY3, possibly taking
advantage of the duality between type IIA string theory on K3 and
heterotic string theory on T4.
 
 Finding more evidence for string theory dualities and EM duality, for
example studying more F theory evidence, and playing with M-theory
related dualities, finding some predictions of EM duality and magnetic
monopoles
 
 D brane dynamics, and dynamics of multiple coinciding M5 branes –
what would be the gauge group in this case? How does this relate to
the branes we are living on/in?
 
 Crystal melting and dimer models, quiver theory, Seiberg duality,
extension to non toric case
 
 Finding a way to extract information from string theory to field
theory, such as swampland conjecture – making more bridges between
string theory and phenomenology
 
 String field theory – making most out of the marriage between string
theory and quantum field theory
 
 Black holes and black rings – how can we possibly get useful
information from these black objects so that we can possibly compare
with observations, and can learn about big bang.
