Can I read Non-perturbative orientifolds on EtoBox?

Non-perturbative orientifolds by Zurab Kakushadze is a Physics and Astronomy article available to read on EtoBox.

What is Non-perturbative orientifolds about?

We consider non-perturbative six and four dimensional N Ns 1 space-time supersymmetric orientifolds. Some states in such compactifications arise in ''twisted'' open string sectors which lack world-sheet description in terms of D-branes. Using Type I-heterotic duality we are able to obtain the massless spectra for some of such orientifolds. The four dimensional compactification we discus in this context is an example of a chiral N Ns 1 supersymmetric string vacuum which is non-perturbative in both orientifold and heterotic pictures. In particular, it contains both D9-and D5-branes plus non-perturbative ''twisted'' open string sector states as well.

Who reads Non-perturbative orientifolds?

It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Physics and Astronomy.
