Aspects of Open-Closed Duality in a Background B-Field
We study closed string exchanges in background B-field. By analysing the two point one loop amplitude in bosonic string theory, we show that tree-level exchange of lowest lying, tachyonic and massless closed string modes, have IR singularities similar to those of the nonplanar sector in noncommutative gauge theories. We further isolate the contributions from each of the massless modes. We inter...
متن کاملA Note on T-Duality, Open Strings in B-field Background and Canonical Transformations
In this paper we study T-duality for open strings ending on branes with non-zero B-field on them from the point of view of canonical transformations. For the particular case of type II strings on the two torus we show that the Sl(2, Z)N transformations can be understood as a sub-class of canonical transformations on the open strings in the B-field background. ∗ E-mail:[email protected]
متن کاملSelf-duality, Helicity and Background Field Loopology
I show that helicity plays an important role in the development of rules for computing higher loop effective Lagrangians. Specifically, the two-loop Heisenberg-Euler effective Lagrangian in quantum electrodynamics is remarkably simple when the background field has definite helicity (i.e., is self-dual). Furthermore, the twoloop answer can be derived essentially algebraically, and is naturally e...
متن کاملOn the Flattening of negative Curvature via T-duality with a non-constant B-field
In an earlier paper, Alvarez, Alvarez-Gaumé, Barbón and Lozano pointed out, that the only way to ”flatten” negative curvature by means of a T-duality is by introducing an appropriate, non-constant NS-NS Bμν 2-form. In this paper, we are investigating this further and ask, whether it is possible to T-dualize AdSd space to flat space with some suitably chosen Bμν . To answer this question, we der...
متن کاملPlane Wave Limits and T-Duality
The Penrose limit is generalized to show that, any leading order solution of the low-energy field equations in any one of the five string theories has a plane wave solution as a limit. This limiting procedure takes into account all the massless fields that may arise and commutes with the T-duality so that any dual solution has again a plane wave limit. The scaling rules used in the limit are un...
