On the Tensionless Limit of Bosonic Strings, Infinite Symmetries and Higher Spins
In the tensionless limit of string theory on flat background all the massive tower of states gets squeezed to a common zero mass level and the free theory is described by an infinite amount of massless free fields with arbitrary integer high spin. We notice that in this situation the very notion of critical dimension gets lost, the apparency of infinite global symmetries takes place, and the cl...
متن کاملConformal blocks for AdS 5 singletons
We give a simple derivation of the conformal blocks of the singleton sector of compactifications of IIB string theory on spacetimes of the form X5×Y5 with Y5 compact, while X5 has as conformal boundary an arbitrary 4-manifold M4. We retain the second-derivative terms in the action for the B,C fields and thus the analysis is not purely topological. The unit-normalized conformal blocks agree exac...
متن کاملSymmetries and Compactifications of (4,0) Conformal Gravity
The free (4,0) superconformal theory in 6 dimensions and its toroidal dimensional reductions are studied. The reduction to four dimensions on a 2-torus has an SL(2,Z) duality symmetry that acts non-trivially on the linearised gravity sector, interchanging the linearised Einstein equations and Bianchi identities and giving a self-duality between strong and weak coupling regimes. The possibility ...
متن کاملSymmetries in Conformal Field Theory
Let’s begin by recalling a fact about 2d conformal field theories from Phil’s talk last week. Firstly, we can define a complex semigroup A whose objects are conformal equivalence classes of Riemann surfaces which are diffeomorphic to annuli, equipped with parameterisations of their boundary components, one incoming and one outgoing. The semigroup operation is given by gluing an outgoing to an i...
متن کاملConformal and projective symmetries in Newtonian cosmology
Definitions of non-relativistic conformal transformations are considered both in the Newton-Cartan and in the Kaluza-Klein-type Eisenhart/Bargmann geometrical frameworks. The symmetry groups that come into play are exemplified by the cosmological, and also the Newton-Hooke solutions of Newton’s gravitational field equations. It is shown, in particular, that the maximal symmetry group of the sta...
