Equivariant Structure in String Theory

Construction of Equivariant Vector Bundles

Let X be the wonderful compactification of a complex adjoint symmetric space G/K such that rk(G/K) = rk(G) − rk(K). We show how to extend equivariant vector bundles on G/K to equivariant vector bundles on X , generated by their global sections and having trivial higher cohomology groups. This relies on a geometric construction of equivariant vector bundles in the setting of varieties with reduc...

Topological String Partition Functions as Equivariant Indices

In this work we exploit the relationship with certain equivariant genera of isntanton moduli spaces to study the string partition functions of some local Calabi-Yau geometries, in particular, the Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture for them [8]. Gromov-Witten invariants are in general rational numbers. However as conjectured by Gopakumar and Vafa [8] using M-theory, the generating series of GromovWitten ...

Equivariant Embedding of Metrizable G-spaces in Linear G-spaces

Given a Lie group G we study the class MG of proper metrizable G-spaces with metrizable orbit spaces, and show that any G-space X ∈ MG admits a closed G-embedding into a convex G-subset C of some locally convex linear G-space, such that X has some G-neighborhood in C which belongs to the class MG. As a corollary we see that any G-ANR for MG is a G-ANE for MG.

Equivariant Kähler Geometry and Localization in the G/G Model

We analyze in detail the equivariant supersymmetry of the G/G model. In spite of the fact that this supersymmetry does not model the infinitesimal action of the group of gauge transformations, localization can be established by standard arguments. The theory localizes onto reducible connections and a careful evaluation of the fixed point contributions leads to an alternative derivation of the V...
