In this brief note we consider the interaction between high spin excitations in string theory along the Regge trajectory and the Higuchi bound in de Sitter space. There is always a point along the Regge trajectory where the Higuchi bound is violated. However, this point precisely coincides with a string whose length is of order the de Sitter Hubble scale. String theory therefore manifests no immediate inconsistency as long as the string scale $M_s$ is above the Hubble scale $H$. However, an implication is that the Regge trajectory must be significantly modified at some ultraviolet scale. Insisting that this modification should occur no earlier than the Planck scale would lead to a bound on the string scale of $M_s > sqrt{H M_p}$.
We study the cosmic no-hair in the presence of spin-2 matter, i.e. in bimetric gravity. We obtain stable de Sitter solutions with the cosmological constant in the physical sector and find an evidence that the cosmic no-hair is correct. In the presenc
In this note we investigate bound states, where scalar and vector bosons are trapped by BPS vortices in the Abelian Higgs model with a critical ratio of the couplings. A class of internal modes of fluctuation around cylindrically symmetric BPS vortic
A similarity transformation, which brings a particular class of the $N=1$ string to the $N=0$ one, is explicitly constructed. It enables us to give a simple proof for the argument recently proposed by Berkovits and Vafa. The $N=1$ BRST operator is tu
In String Gas Cosmology, the simplest shape modulus fields are naturally stabilized by taking into account the presence of string winding and momentum modes. We determine the resulting effective potential for these fields and show that it obeys the d
We recalculate in a systematic and pedagogical way one of the most important results of Bosonic open string theory in the light-cone formulation, namely the [J^{-i},J^{-j}] commutators, which together with Lorentz covariance, famously yield the criti
