Compactification of Superstrings and Chain or Oriented Strings in Interactions

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/763744· OSTI ID:763744
Superstring theories command the study of their various possible compactifications, and their consequence physics. Thus, the role of topology is likely to be far more central, in particular in ten-dimensional physics. Topological invariants on a chain of oriented strings in interaction are discussed. Attempts to link superstrings with the reality of the physical world in four dimensions are discussed.
