The modified measure theories recommend themselves as a good possibility to go beyond the standard formulation to solve yet unsolved problems. The Galileon measure that is constructed in the way to be invariant under the Galileon shift symmetry is considered in the context of superstring theory. The translation invariance of the vacuum holds up to a Galileon transformations. The supersymmetric action is presented with all terms, including the tension, being derived from the equations of motion.

We show that it is possible to formulate string theory as a Galileon string theory. The galileon field $chi$ enters in the definition of the integration measure in the action. Following the methods of the modified measure string theory, we find that
the final equations are again those of Polyakov. Moreover, the string tension appears again as an additional dynamical degree of freedom. At the same time the theory satisfies all requirements of the galileon higher derivative theory at the action level while the equations of motion are still of the second order. A galileon symmetry is displayed explicitly in the conformal string worldsheet frame. Also we define the galileon gauge transformations. Generalizations to branes with other modified measures are discussed.
We derive the 1-loop effective action of the cubic Galileon coupled to quantum-gravitational fluctuations in a background and gauge-independent manner, employing the covariant framework of DeWitt and Vilkovisky. Although the bare action respects shif
t symmetry, the coupling to gravity induces an effective mass to the scalar, of the order of the cosmological constant, as a direct result of the non-flat field-space metric, the latter ensuring the field-reparametrization invariance of the formalism. Within a gauge-invariant regularization scheme, we discover novel, gravitationally induced non-Galileon higher-derivative interactions in the effective action. These terms, previously unnoticed within standard, non-covariant frameworks, are not Planck suppressed. Unless tuned to be sub-dominant, their presence could have important implications for the classical and quantum phenomenology of the theory.
We study the formation of three-string junctions between (p,q)-cosmic superstrings, and collisions between such strings and show that kinematic constraints analogous to those found previously for collisions of Nambu-Goto strings apply here too, with
suitable modifications to take account of the additional requirements of flux conservation. We examine in detail several examples involving collisions between strings with low values of p and q, and also examine the rates of growth or shrinkage of strings at a junction. Finally, we briefly discuss the formation of junctions for strings in a warped space, specifically with a Klebanov-Strassler throat, and show that similar constraints still apply with changes to the parameters taking account of the warping and the background flux.
Cosmic strings are predicted by many field-theory models, and may have been formed at a symmetry-breaking transition early in the history of the universe, such as that associated with grand unification. They could have important cosmological effects.
Scenarios suggested by fundamental string theory or M-theory, in particular the popular idea of brane inflation, also strongly suggest the appearance of similar structures. Here we review the reasons for postulating the existence of cosmic strings or superstrings, the various possible ways in which they might be detected observationally, and the special features that might discriminate between ordinary cosmic strings and superstrings.
We construct dyon solutions on a collection of coincident D4-branes, obtained by applying the group of T-duality transformations to a type I SO(32) superstring theory in 10 dimensions. The dyon solutions, which are exact, are obtained from an action
consisting of the non-abelian Dirac-Born-Infeld action and Wess-Zumino-like action. When one of the spatial dimensions of the D4-branes is taken to be vanishingly small, the dyons are analogous to the t Hooft/Polyakov monopole residing in a 3+1 dimensional spacetime, where the component of the Yang-Mills potential transforming as a Lorentz scalar is re-interpreted as a Higgs boson transforming in the adjoint representation of the gauge group. We next apply a T-duality transformation to the vanishingly small spatial dimension. The result is a collection of D3-branes not all of which are coincident. Two of the D3-branes which are separated from the others acquire intrinsic, finite, curvature and are connected by a wormhole. The dyon possesses electric and magnetic charges whose values on each D3-brane are the negative of one another. The gravitational effects, which arise after the T-duality transformation, occur despite the fact that the Lagrangian density from which the dyon solutions have been obtained does not explicitly include the gravitational interaction. These solutions provide a simple example of the subtle relationship between the Yang-Mills and gravitational interactions, i.e. gauge/gravity duality.
