Quantum Mechanics on a Noncommutative Brane in M ( atrix ) Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the quantum mechanics of a particle on a noncommutative two-sphere with the coordinates obeying an SU(2)-algebra. The momentum operator can be constructed in terms of an SU(2) × SU(2)-extension and the Heisenberg algebra recovered in the smooth manifold limit. Similar considerations apply to the more general SU(n) case.

M ( atrix ) Theory on T 5 / Z 2 Orbifold and Five - Branes 1
We show that compactification of the M(atrix) theory on orbifold T5/Z2 is described by N = 8 supersymmetric quantum mechanics with USp(2N) gauge group and Spin(5)⊗Spin(4) R-symmetry. Using zero-brane and two-brane as probes, we find that each of the thirtytwo orbifold fixed points carry G-flux ∮ [G/2π] = −1/2. This anomalous G-flux is cancelled supersymmetrically by turning on sixteen longitudi...
متن کاملSome Notes concerning the Dynamics of Noncommutative Lumps Corresponding to Nontrivial Vacua in the Noncommutative Yang–mills Models Which Are Perturbative Branches of M(atrix) Theory
We consider a pair of noncommutative lumps in the noncommutative Yang–Mills/M(atrix) model. In the case when the lumps are separated by a finite distance their “polarisations” do not belong to orthogonal subspaces of the Hilbert space. In this case the interaction between lumps is nontrivial. We analyse the dynamics arisen due to this interaction in both naive approach of rigid lumps and exactl...
متن کاملOrbifold and Five-branes
We study M(atrix) theory description of M theory compactified on T5/Z2 orbifold. In the large volume limit we show that M theory dynamics is described by N = 8 supersymmetric USp(2N) M(atrix) quantum mechanics. Via zero-brane parton scattering, we show that each orbifold fixed point carries anomalous G-flux ∮ [G/2π] = −1/2. To cancel the anomalous Gflux , we introduce twisted sector consisting ...
متن کاملRelativistic Brane Scattering
We calculate relativistic phase-shifts resulting from the large impact parameter scattering of 0-branes off p-branes within supergravity. Their full functional dependence on velocity agrees with that obtained by identifying the p-branes with D-branes in string theory. These processes are also described by 0-brane quantum mechanics, but only in the non-relativistic limit. We show that an improve...
متن کاملIssues in M(atrix) Theory Compactification
We discuss issues concerning M(atrix) theory compactifications on curved spaces. We argue from the form of the graviton propagator on curved space that excited string states do not decouple from the annulus D0-brane v amplitude, unlike the flat space case. This argument shows that a large class of quantum mechanical systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom cannot reproduce supergravit...
