Superstring partition functions in the doubled formalism
Computation of superstring partition functions for the non-linear sigma model on the product of a two-torus and its dual within the scope of the doubled formalism is presented. We verify that it reproduces the partition functions of the toroidally compactified type–IIA and type–IIB theories for appropriate choices of the GSO projection.
متن کاملThe string partition function in Hull’s doubled formalism
T-duality is one of the essential elements of string theory. Recently, Hull has developed a formalism where the dimension of the target space is doubled so as to make T-duality manifest. This is then supplimented with a constraint equation that allows the connection to the usual string sigma model. This paper analyses the partition function of the doubled formalism by interpreting the constaint...
متن کاملMatrix String Partition Functions
We evaluate quasiclassically the Ramond partition function of Euclidean D = 10 U(N) super Yang-Mills theory reduced to a two-dimensional torus. The result can be interpreted in terms of free strings wrapping the space-time torus, as expected from the point of view of Matrix string theory. We demonstrate that, when extrapolated to the ultraviolet limit (small area of the torus), the quasiclassic...
متن کاملTopological 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 ...
متن کاملString Partition Functions and Infinite Products
We continue to explore the conjectural expressions of the Gromov-Witten potentials for a class of elliptically and K3 fibered Calabi-Yau 3-folds in the limit where the base P of the K3 fibration becomes infinitely large. At least in this limit we argue that the string partition function (= the exponential generating function of the Gromov-Witten potentials) can be expressed as an infinite produ...
