Tree-Level Stability Without Spacetime Fermions: Novel Examples in String Theory
Is perturbative stability intimately tied with the existence of spacetime fermions in string theory in more than two dimensions? Type 0′B string theory in ten-dimensional flat space is a rare example of a non-tachyonic, non-supersymmetric string theory with a purely bosonic closed string spectrum. However, all known type 0′ constructions exhibit massless NSNS tadpoles signaling the fact that we...
متن کاملSpacetime in String Theory
We give a brief overview of the nature of spacetime emerging from string theory. This is radically different from the familiar spacetime of Einstein’s relativity. At a perturbative level, the spacetime metric appears as “coupling constants” in a two dimensional quantum field theory. Nonperturbatively (with certain boundary conditions), spacetime is not fundamental but must be reconstructed from...
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY
The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...
متن کاملSpacetime foam in twistor string theory
We show how a Kähler spacetime foam in four dimensional conformal (super)gravity may be mapped to twistor spaces carrying the D1 brane charge of the B model topological string theory. The spacetime foam is obtained by blowing up an arbitrary number of points in C and can be interpreted as a sum over gravitational instantons. Some twistor spaces for blowups of C are known explicitly. In these ca...
متن کاملTree-level string cosmology.
In this paper we examine the classical evolution of a cosmological model derived from the low-energy tree-level limit of a generic string theory. The action contains the metric, dilaton, central charge and an antisymmetric tensor field. We show that with a homogeneous and isotropic metric, allowing spatial curvature, there is a formal equivalence between this system and a scalar field minimally...
