String Theory effective action, Higher derivative corrections to string theory
Research scheme
String theory is a theory of gravity that is consistent with quantum mechanics. This theory contains non-perturbative D-brane/O-plane fluctuations as well as perturbative string fluctuations. The physics of spacetime and its non-perturbative objects are usually explored by studying the low-energy expansion or α' expansion of effective actions. The leading α' order effective action of the spacetime is given by the supergravity and of D-brane /O-plane is given by DBI actions. I am interested in finding higher corrections to these leading order effective actions by using the expected symmetries of the effective actions.
