New trends in string theory
|
|
|
Hi.
Can anyone explain me the recent trends in string theory with the
reference of the main papers? (last mounths)
Thanks a lot!
Bye

You don't get an answer because your question is far too vague and
unspecific. It's like asking 'what are the recent trends in literature
point me to good books'. Ask concrete questions and you will get
answers. Meanwhile have a look at http://www.arxiv.org and then
hep-th.

I don't think that the question What are the main trends in a scientific
field in the last couple of months is a vague question.

Let us hope that string theory has not yet degenerated to the level of
literature and that it has not yet adopted its (lit crit) methods to
judge the value of ideas.
The last couple of months have not created any major trends that everyone
would find extraordinarily powerful but people continue to work on trends
that have been hot for two years or so, such as the higher order
corrections to black hole entropy, relations to topological strings, flux
vacua, landscape, swampland, general predictions of string theory, as well
as 3-year-old trends such as integrability in AdS/CFT + Bethe Ansaetze and
many others.
If you ask at a better moment, you may get a more focused and exciting
answer. In that case, it is likely that you get the answer before you ask
the question. ;-)
Best wishes

Can't we get Alan Sokal to test this for us? (-;
