Wrapped membranes, matrix string theory and an infinite dimensional Lie algebra

چکیده
We examine the algebraic structure of the matrix regularization for the wrapped membrane on R10 × S1 in the light-cone gauge. We give a concrete representation for the algebra and obtain the matrix string theory having the boundary conditions for the matrix variables corresponding to the wrapped membrane, which is referred to neither Seiberg and Sen’s arguments nor string dualities. We also embed the configuration of the multi-wrapped membrane in matrix string theory.

Perturbative dynamics of matrix string for the membrane
Recently Sekino and Yoneya proposed a way to regularize the world volume theory of membranes wrapped around S by matrices and showed that one obtains matrix string theory as a regularization of such a theory. We show that this correspondence between matrix string theory and wrapped membranes can be obtained by using the usual M(atrix) theory techniques. Using this correspondence, we construct t...
متن کاملUnitary Representations of Some Infinite Dimensional Lie Algebras Motivated by String Theory on AdS3
We consider some unitary representations of infinite dimensional Lie algebras motivated by string theory on AdS3. These include examples of two kinds: the A,D,E type affine Lie algebras and the N = 4 superconformal algebra. The first presents a new construction for free field representations of affine Lie algebras. The second is of a particular physical interest because it provides some hints t...
متن کاملCategorified Symplectic Geometry and the String Lie 2-algebra
Multisymplectic geometry is a generalization of symplectic geometry suitable for n-dimensional field theories, in which the nondegenerate 2-form of symplectic geometry is replaced by a nondegenerate (n + 1)-form. The case n = 2 is relevant to string theory: we call this ‘2-plectic geometry.’ Just as the Poisson bracket makes the smooth functions on a symplectic manifold into a Lie algebra, the ...
متن کامل0 M ay 1 99 8 A Lie Algebra for Closed Strings , Spin Chains and Gauge Theories
We consider quantum dynamical systems whose degrees of freedom are described by N × N matrices, in the planar limit N → ∞. Examples are gauge theories and the M(atrix)-theory of strings. States invariant under U(N) are 'closed strings', modelled by traces of products of matrices. We have discovered that the U(N)-invariant operators acting on both open and closed string states form a remarkable ...
متن کاملHidden symmetries of two-dimensional string effective action.
The ten dimensional heterotic string effective action with graviton, dilaton and antisymmetric tensor fields is dimensionally reduced to two spacetime dimensions. The resulting theory, with some constraints on backgrounds, admits infinite sequence of conserved nonlocal currents. It is shown that generators of the infinitesimal transformations associated with these currents satisfy Kac-Moody alg...
