dS spaces and brane worlds in exotic string theories

Abstract We investigate string-phenomenological questions of Hull’s exotic superstring theories with Euclidean strings/branes and multiple times. These are known to be plagued by pathologies like the occurrence of ghosts. On the other hand, these theories exhibit de Sitter solutions. Our special foc...
