Chiral rings, Mirror Symmetry and the Fate of Localized Tachyons
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the localized tachyon condensation of non-supersymmetric orbifold backgrounds in their mirror Landau-Ginzburg picture. We first show that the R-charges of chiral primaries increase under the process of condensing the tachyon in the same chiral ring. Then, utilizing the existence of four copies of (2,2) worldsheet supersymmetry, we show that the minimal tachyon mass in twisted sectors increases in CFT and type 0 string and it plays the role of the c-function of the twisted sectors. We also study the GSO projection in detail and show that type II decays to only to type II while type 0 can mix with type 0 and II under the RG-flow.

Mathematische Zeitschrift Chiral rings of vertex algebras of mirror symmetry
We calculate chiral rings of the N = 2 vertex algebras constructed from the combinatorial data of toric mirror symmetry and show that they coincide with the description of stringy cohomology conjectured previously in a joint work with A. Mavlyutov. This constitutes an important reality check of the vertex algebra approach to mirror symmetry.

متن کاملSupermanifolds, Rigid Manifolds and Mirror Symmetry
By providing a general correspondence between Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds and nonlinear sigma models, we find that the elusive mirror of a rigid manifold is actually a supermanifold. We also discuss when sigma models with super-target spaces are conformally invariant and describe their chiral rings. Both supermanifolds with and without Kähler moduli are considered. This work leads us to conclude ...
متن کاملInvestigation of thermal tunable nano metallic photonic crystal filter with mirror symmetry
Using the transfer matrix method, the effect of temperature on thetransmission spectra of thermal tunable nano metallic photonic crystal filter has beeninvestigated. Three different materials H (high refractive index material), L (lowrefractive index material) and M as a metallic layer, have been used to make thisstructure. M layer is considered to be Silver. The complex refractive index of Sil...
متن کاملTunable Defect Mode in One-Dimensional Ternary Nanophotonic Crystal with Mirror Symmetry
In this paper, the properties of the defect mode in the photonic band gap ofone-dimensional ternary photonic crystals containing high temperature superconductorlayer (SPCs) have been theoretically investigated. We considered the quasi-periodiclayered structures by choosing two order of ternary Thue-Morse structures with mirrorsymmetry. We investigated the transmission spectra of these structure...
