Aspects of Riemannian Geometry in Quantum Field
In this thesis we study in detail several situations where the areas of Riemannian geometry and quantum field theory come together. This study is carried out in three distinct situations. In the first part we show how to introduce new local gauge invariant variables for V = 1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, explicitly parameterizing the physical Hilbert space of the theory. We show that these...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory and Riemannian Geometry
We introduce new local gauge invariant variables for N = 1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, explicitly parametrizing the physical Hilbert space of the theory. We show that these gauge invariant variables have a geometrical interpretation, and can be constructed such that the emergent geometry is that of N = 1 supergravity: a Riemannian geometry with vector-spinor generated torsion. Full geomet...
متن کاملSome Local and Non-local Variational Problems in Riemannian Geometry
— In this article we will give a brief summary of some recent work on two variational problems in Riemannian geometry. Although both involve the study of elementary symmetric functions of the eigenvalues of the Ricci tensor, as far as technique and motivation are concerned the problems are actually quite different. Résumé (Problèmes variationnels locaux et non-locaux en géométrie riemannienne) ...
متن کاملC-spaces, generalized geometry and double field theory
We construct a C-space associated with every closed 3-form on a spacetime M and show that it depends on the class of the form in H3(M,Z). We also demonstrate that C-spaces have a relation to generalized geometry and to gerbes. C-spaces are constructed after introducing additional coordinates at the open sets and at their double overlaps of a spacetime generalizing the standard construction of K...
متن کاملNon-associative deformations of geometry in double field theory
Non-geometric string backgrounds were proposed to be related to a nonassociative deformation of the space-time geometry. In the flux formulation of double field theory (DFT), the structure of mathematically possible non-associative deformations is analyzed in detail. It is argued that on-shell there should not be any violation of associativity in the effective DFT action. For imposing either th...
