Lorentzian Lie (3-)algebra and toroidal compactification of M/string theory
We construct a class of Lie 3-algebras with an arbitrary number of pairs of generators with Lorentzian signature metric. Some examples are given and corresponding BLG models are studied. We show that such a system in general describes supersymmetric massive vector multiplets after the ghost fields are Higgsed. Simple systems with nontrivial interaction are realized by infinite dimensional Lie 3...
متن کاملModules of the toroidal Lie algebra $widehat{widehat{mathfrak{sl}}}_{2}$
Highest weight modules of the double affine Lie algebra $widehat{widehat{mathfrak{sl}}}_{2}$ are studied under a new triangular decomposition. Singular vectors of Verma modules are determined using a similar condition with horizontal affine Lie subalgebras, and highest weight modules are described under the condition $c_1>0$ and $c_2=0$.
متن کاملLie algebra theory without algebra
This is an entirely expository piece: the main results discussed are very wellknown and the approach we take is not really new, although the presentation may be somewhat different to what is in the literature. The author’s main motivation for writing this piece comes from a feeling that the ideas deserve to be more widely known. Let g be a Lie algebra over R or C. . A vector subspace I ⊂ g is a...
متن کاملToroidal Compactification in String Theory from Chern-Simons Theory
A detailed study of the charge spectrum of three dimensional Abelian Topological Massive Gauge Theory (TMGT) is given. When this theory is defined on a manifold with two disconnected boundaries there are induced chiral Conformal Field Theories (CFT’s) on the boundaries which can be interpreted as the left and right sectors of closed strings. We show that Narain constraints on toroidal compactif...
متن کاملHarmonicity and Minimality of Vector Fields on Lorentzian Lie Groups
We consider four-dimensional lie groups equipped with left-invariant Lorentzian Einstein metrics, and determine the harmonicity properties of vector fields on these spaces. In some cases, all these vector fields are critical points for the energy functional restricted to vector fields. We also classify vector fields defining harmonic maps, and calculate explicitly the energy of t...
