(t) Twisted Strings and Orbifolds’
How can these symmetries be broken to SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1) in four dimensions? One powerful approach to string symmetry breaking was proposed in a beautiful paper by Candelas, Horowitz, Strominger and Witten [l]. This group advocated compactifying the heterotic string on M4 x K, where M4 is four-dimensional Minkowski space, and K is a compact six-dimensional manifdld of SU(31 holonomv. a so-cal...
متن کاملTwisted Open Strings from Closed Strings: The WZW Orientation Orbifolds
Including world-sheet orientation-reversing automorphisms ĥσ ∈ H− in the orbifold program, we construct the operator algebras and twisted KZ systems of the general WZW orientation orbifold Ag(H−)/H−. We find that the orientation-orbifold sectors corresponding to each ĥσ ∈ H− are twisted open WZW strings, whose properties are quite distinct from conventional open-string orientifold sectors. As s...
متن کاملA Note on Perturbative and Nonperturbative Instabilities of Twisted Circles
In this short note we compare the endpoint of tachyon condensation of twisted circles with the endpoint of nonpertubative brane nucleation in the Kaluza-Klein Melvin spacetime. July 2002 † [email protected] * Address after August 1st, 2002
متن کاملA Basic Class of Twisted Open WZW Strings
Recently, Giusto and Halpern reported the open-string description of a certain basic class of untwisted open WZW strings, including their associated non-commutative geometry and open-string KZ equations. In this paper, we combine this development with results from the theory of current-algebraic orbifolds to find the open-string description of a corresponding basic class of twisted open WZW str...
متن کاملAspects of ALE Matrix Models and Twisted Matrix Strings
We examine several aspects of the formulation of M(atrix)-Theory on ALE spaces. We argue for the existence of massless vector multiplets in the resolved An−1 spaces, as required by enhanced gauge symmetry in M-Theory, and that these states might have the correct gravitational interactions. We propose a matrix model which describes M-Theory on an ALE space in the presence of wrapped membranes. W...
