چکیده

The lift of K-theoretic D-brane charge to M-theory was recently hypothesized land in Cohomotopy cohomology theory. To further check this "Hypothesis H", here we explicitly compute the constraints on fractional charges at ADE-orientifold singularities imposed by existence lifts from equivariant K-theory theory, through Boardman's comparison homomorphism. We relevant cases and find that condition singles out precisely those which do not take irrational values, any twisted sector. Given possibility has been perceived as a paradox string conclude Hypothesis H serves resolve paradox. Concretely, first explain Boardman homomorphism, present case, is map Burnside ring representation singularity group given forming virtual permutation representations. Then describe an explicit algorithm computes image for finite group. run binary Platonic groups, hence subgroups SU(2); three exceptional few cyclic dihedral morphism surjects onto sub-lattice real spanned non-irrational characters.

The Burnside Ring and Equivariant Stable Cohomotopy for Infinite Groups

After we have given a survey on the Burnside ring of a finite group, we discuss and analyze various extensions of this notion to infinite (discrete) groups. The first three are the finite-G-set-version, the inverselimit-version and the covariant Burnside group. The most sophisticated one is the fourth definition as the zero-th equivariant stable cohomotopy of the classifying space for proper ac...

D-brane Conformal Field Theory

We outline the structure of boundary conditions in conformal field theory. A boundary condition is specified by a consistent collection of reflection coefficients for bulk fields on the disk together with a choice of an automorphism ω of the fusion rules that preserves conformal weights. Non-trivial automorphisms ω correspond to D-brane configurations for arbitrary conformal field theories.

The charge radius of a D p brane

Sen has shown that tachyon condensation in Dbrane–anti-Dbrane configurations can lead to remarkable connections between string theories. A consequence of his results is that there is a minimal value of the radial coördinate r c ∝ √ α ′ g 1/(9−p) such that Dpbrane charge cannot be localized to values smaller than r c. At this value of r c the curvature and the gradient of the Ramond-Ramond field...

D - brane field theory on compact spaces

We consider Dirichlet p-branes in type II string theory on a space which has been toroidally compactified in d dimensions. We give an explicit construction of the field theory description of this system by putting a countably infinite number of copies of each brane on the noncompact covering space, and modding out the resulting gauge theory by Z d. The resulting theory is a gauge theory with gr...
