S-Duality from OM-Theory

چکیده
We study the compactification of OM-theory on tori and show a simple heuristic derivation of the S-duals of noncommutative open string theory in diverse dimensions from the OM-theoretical point of view. In particular, we identify the S-duality between noncommutative open string theory and noncommutative Yang-Mills theory in (3 + 1) dimensions as the exchange of two circles of a torus on which OM-theory is compactified. Also, we briefly discuss T -duality between noncommutative open string theories.

Open Branes in Space-Time Non-Commutative Little String Theory
We conjecture the existence of two new non-gravitational six-dimensional string theories, defined as the decoupling limit of NS5-branes in the background of critical electrical twoand three-form RR fields. These theories are spacetime non-commutative Little String Theories with open branes. The theory with (2, 0) supersymmetry has an open membrane in the spectrum and reduces to OM theory at low...

The dual supergravity description of the flow between (2,0) five–brane theory and the noncommutative five–brane (OM) theory is examined at critical five– brane field strength. The self–duality of the field strength is shown to arise as a consequence of the supergravity solution. Open membrane solutions are examined in the background of the five–brane giving rise to an M analogue of the noncommu...

We show how to associate to a triple of posit...
متن کاملStrong Coupling Effects in Non-commutative Spaces From OM Theory and Supergravity
We show that a four-parameter class of 3+1 dimensional NCOS theories can be obtained by dimensional reduction on a general 2-torus from OM theory. Compactifying two spatial directions of NCOS theory on a 2-torus, we study the transformation properties under the SO(2, 2;Z) T-duality group. We then discuss non-perturbative configurations of noncommutative super Yang-Mills theory. In particular, w...
