چکیده

We extend the non-perturbative time-dependent bosonic string action of [3] to a N = 1 supersymmetric world sheet action with graviton background, and assume a superpotential, function of the time super coordinate. The use of (super)strings for the description of cosmological events suggests that String Theory might become observable, given the huge amount of cosmological data [1]. String Cosmology is generally based on the study of the effective theory in the target space [2], where the effective action is built in such a way that the corresponding equations of motion give the perturbative Weyl invariance conditions on the world sheet of the string. Instead, in [3], a time-dependent bosonic string configuration was found to satisfy Weyl invariance conditions in a non-perturbative way: it was conjectured that this configuration cancels the ressumation of all loops in the beta functions corresponding to Weyl invariance. The corresponding action is given by S = 1 4πα′ ∫ dξ √ γ { γ κ0ημν (X0)2 ∂aX ∂bX ν + α ′ Rφ0 ln(X ) } , (1) where κ0 and φ0 are constants. Weyl invariance is then satisfied for any target space dimension D and any dilaton amplitude φ0. The metric amplitude κ0 is then a function of D and φ0, which is not known precisely, but which has no cosmological relevance. The string configuration (1) describes of a spatially-flat Robertson Walker Universe, with metric ds = −dt + a(t)(d~x), where t is the time in the Einstein frame, and a(t) is the scale factor. For the configuration (1), the scale factor was shown to be a power law a(t) ∝ t D−2 2φ0 , (2) such that, if the following relation holds D = 2− 2φ0, (3) the target space is static and flat (Minkowski Universe). We are interested here in a superstring action with corresponding bosonic part (1), and we consider for this a N = 1 world sheet supersymmetric action, with graviton background, and 1 in which we assume a superpotential Φ, function of X, where X are the supercoordinates on the world sheet. The string supercoordinates of an NSR string are [4] X = X + iθψ + iθψ μ + θθF , (4) where ψ and ψ μ are complex conjugate if the world sheet is Euclidean. The supercovariant derivatives are D = ∂θ + θ∂z and D = ∂θ + θ∂z, where z = (z, θ) denotes the superspace coordinates on the world sheet. The N = 1 supersymmetric world sheet action we consider is S = 1 4πα′ ∫

Fractional superstrings with space-time critical dimensions four and six.

We propose possible new string theories based on local world-sheet symmetries corresponding to extensions of the Virasoro algebra by fractional spin currents. They have critical central charges c = 6(K + 8)/(K + 2) and Minkowski space-time dimensions D = 2+16/K for K ≥ 2 an integer. We present evidence for their existence by constructing modular invariant partition functions and the massless pa...

Status of Fractional Superstrings

We argue why it is important to search beyond the superstring for consistent string theories that have space-time supersymmetry with critical space-time dimensions less than 10. We give a lengthy introduction on the motivation and approach. We discuss briefly some promising possibilities, namely, fractional superstrings. More specifically, we consider the K = 4, or spin-4/3 fractional superstri...

Multi-Instantons in Higher Dimensions and Superstring Solitons

We construct octonionic multi-instantons for the eight and seven dimensional Yang–Mills theory. Extended soliton solutions to the low-energy heterotic field theory equations of motion are constructed from these octonionic multi-instantons. The solitons describe a string in ten-dimensional Minkowski space, and preserve one and two of the sixteen space-time supersymmetries correspondingly.

Tree scattering amplitudes of the spin-4/3 fractional superstring. I. The untwisted sectors.

Scattering amplitudes of the spin-4/3 fractional superstring are shown to satisfy spurious state decoupling and cyclic symmetry (duality) at tree-level in the string perturbation expansion. This fractional superstring is characterized by the spin-4/3 fractional superconformal algebra—a parafermionic algebra studied by Zamolodchikov and Fateev involving chiral spin-4/3 currents on the world-shee...

Translation Surfaces of the Third Fundamental Form in Lorentz-Minkowski Space

In this paper we study translation surfaces with the non-degenerate third fundamental form in Lorentz- Minkowski space $mathbb{L}^{3}$. As a result, we classify translation surfaces satisfying an equation in terms of the position vector field and the Laplace operator with respect to the third fundamental form $III$ on the surface.
