ROTATING KINKY BRANEWORLDS

Abstract Cylindrical braneworlds have been used in HERBATINT 7R the literature as a convenient way to resolve co-dimension-two branes.They are prevented from collapsing by a massless worldvolume field with non-trivial winding, but here we discuss another way of preventing collapse, which is to rotate the brane.We use a simple microscopic field theo

Among fungal pathogens, Cryptococcus neoformans has gained great importance among the scientific community of several reasons.This fungus is the causative agent of cryptococcosis, a disease mainly associated to HIV immunosuppression and POUCHES characterized by the appearance of meningoencephalitis.Cryptococcal meningitis is responsible for hundred
