Phases of Antisymmetric Tensor Field Theories
We study the different phases of field theories of compact antisymmetric tensors of rank h − 1 in arbitrary space-time dimensions D = d + 1. Starting in a ‘Coulomb’ phase, topological defects of dimension d− h− 1 ((d− h− 1)-branes) may condense leading to a generalized ‘confinement’ phase. If the dual theory is also compact the model may also have a third, generalized ‘Higgs’ phase, driven by t...
متن کاملDuality and Confinement in Massive Antisymmetric Tensor Gauge Theories
We extend the duality between massive and topologically massive antisymmetric tensor gauge theories in arbitrary space-time dimensions to include topological defects. We show explicitly that the condensation of these defects leads, in 4 dimensions, to confinement of electric strings in the two dual models. The dual phase, in which magnetic strings are confined is absent. The presence of the con...
متن کاملp-BRANES AS COMPOSITE ANTISYMMETRIC TENSOR FIELD THEORIES
ABSTRACT p-brane solutions to rank p+ 1 composite antisymmetric tensor field theories of the kind developed by Guendelman, Nissimov and Pacheva are found when the dimensionality of spacetime is D = (p+ 1) + (p + 1). These field theories posses an infinite dimensional group of global Noether symmetries, that of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of the target space of the scalar primitive field c...
متن کاملTopological gauge theories with antisymmetric tensor matter fields
A new type of topological matter interactions involving second–rank antisymmetric tensor matter fields with an underlying NT ≧ 1 topological supersymmetry are proposed. The construction of the 4–dimensional, NT = 1 Donaldson–Witten theory, the NT = 1 super–BF model and the NT = 2 topological B–model with tensor matter are explicitly worked out.
متن کاملNotes on supersymmetric Sp(N) theories with an antisymmetric tensor
We study supersymmetric Sp(N) gauge theories with an antisymmetric tensor and degree n+1 tree level superpotential. The generalized Konishi anomaly equations derived in hep-th/0304119 and hep-th/0304138 are used to compute the low energy superpotential of the theory. This is done by imposing a certain integrality condition on the periods of a meromorphic one form. Explicit computations for Sp(2...
