Discrete Torsion in Perturbative Heterotic String Theory
In this paper we analyze discrete torsion in perturbative heterotic string theory. In previous work we have given a purely mathematical explanation of discrete torsion as the choice of orbifold group action on a B field, in the case that dH = 0; in this paper we perform the analogous calculations in heterotic strings where dH = 0.
متن کاملThe Non - Perturbative SO ( 32 ) Heterotic String
The SO(32) heterotic string can be obtained from the type IIB string by gauging a discrete symmetry that acts as (−1) FL on the perturbative string states and reverses the parity of the D-string. Consistency requires the presence of 32 NS 9-branes – the S-duals of D9-branes – which give SO(32) Chan-Paton factors to open D-strings. At finite string coupling, there are SO(32) charges tethered to ...
متن کاملHeterotic Twistor-String Theory
We reformulate twistor-string theory as a heterotic string based on a twisted (0,2) model. The path integral localizes on holomorphic maps, while the (0,2) moduli naturally correspond to the states of N = 4 super Yang-Mills and conformal supergravity under the Penrose transform. We show how the standard twistor-string formulae of scattering amplitudes as integrals over the space of curves in su...
متن کاملHeterotic Matrix String Theory
M-theory suggests the largeN limit of the matrix description of a collection of N Type IA D-particles should provide a nonperturbative formulation of heterotic string theory. In this paper states in the matrix theory corresponding to fundamental heterotic strings are identified, and their interactions are studied. Comments are made about analogous states in Type IIA string theory, which corresp...
متن کاملPerturbative Antibrane Potentials in Heterotic M Theory
We derive the perturbative four-dimensional effective theory describing heterotic M theory with branes and antibranes in the bulk space. The backreaction of both the branes and antibranes is explicitly included. To first order in the heterotic εS expansion, we find that the forces on branes and antibranes vanish and that the Kachru-Kallosh-Linde-Trivedi (KKLT) procedure of simply adding to the ...
