Correlators in Timelike Bulk Liouville Theory
Liouville theory with a negative norm boson and no screening charge corresponds to an exact classical solution of closed bosonic string theory describing time-dependent bulk tachyon condensation. A simple expression for the two point function is proposed based on renormalization/analytic continuation of the known results for the ordinary (positive-norm) Liouville theory. The expression agrees e...
متن کاملTwisted K-Theory as a BRST Cohomology
We use the BRST formalism to classify the gauge orbits of type II string theory’s Ramond-Ramond (RR) field strengths under large RR gauge transformations of the RR gauge potentials. We find that this construction is identical to the AtiyahHirzebruch spectral sequence construction of twisted K-theory, where the AtiyahHirzebruch differentials are the BRST operators. The actions of the large gauge...
متن کاملGauge Invariant Computable Quantities In Timelike Liouville Theory
Timelike Liouville theory admits the sphere S as a real saddle point, about which quantum fluctuations can occur. An issue occurs when computing the expectation values of specific types of quantities, like the distance between points. The problem being that the gauge redundancy of the path integral over metrics is not completely fixed even after fixing to conformal gauge by imposing gμν = e g̃μν...
متن کاملOn the Brst Cohomology in U(1) Gauge Theory
We discuss the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) cohomology in the case of twodimensional free U(1) gauge theory. In addition to the usual BRST charge, we deduce a conserved and nilpotent dual-BRST charge under which the gauge-fixing term remains invariant. This charge is the analogue of the adjoint(dual) exterior derivative of differential geometry. The BRST extended Casimir operator, correspon...
متن کاملBrst Cohomology and Hodge Decomposition Theorem in Abelian Gauge Theory
We discuss the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) cohomology and Hodge decomposition theorem for the two dimensional free U(1) gauge theory. In addition to the usual BRST charge, we derive a local, conserved and nilpotent co(dual)-BRST charge under which the gauge-fixing term remains invariant. We express the Hodge decomposition theorem in terms of these charges and the Laplacian operator. We tak...
