Vacuumless torsion defects.
Vacuumless defects in space-times with torsion may be obtained from vacuum defects in spacetimes without torsion.This idea is applied to planar domain walls and global monopoles.In the case of domain walls exponentially decaying Higgs type potentials are obtained.In the case of global monopoles torsion string type singularities are obtained like the string singularities in Dirac monopoles.
متن کاملSpacetime Defects: Torsion Loops
Spacetimes with everywhere vanishing curvature tensor, but with tor-sion different from zero only on world sheets that represent closed loops in ordinary space are presented, also defects along open curves with end points at infinity are studied. The case of defects along timelike loops is also considered and the geodesics in these spaces are briefly discussed.
متن کاملOrientifolds with discrete torsion
We show how discrete torsion can be implemented in D = 4, N = 1 type IIB orientifolds. Some consistency conditions are found from the closed string and open string spectrum and from tadpole cancellation. Only real values of the discrete torsion parameter are allowed, i.e. ǫ = ±1. Orientifold models are related to real projective representations. In a similar way as complex projective representa...
متن کاملDiscrete Torsion and Symmetric Products
In this note we point out that a symmetric product orbifold CFT can be twisted by a unique nontrivial two-cocycle of the permutation group. This discrete torsion changes the spins and statistics of corresponding secondquantized string theory making it essentially “supersymmetric.” The long strings of even length become fermionic (or ghosts), those of odd length bosonic. The partition function a...
متن کاملOn Orbifolds with Discrete Torsion
We consider the interpretation in classical geometry of conformal field theories constructed from orbifolds with discrete torsion. In examples we can analyze, these spacetimes contain " stringy regions " that from a classical point of view are singularities that are to be neither resolved nor blown up. Some of these models also give particularly simple and clear examples of mirror symmetry.
