A Note on Tensionless Strings in M-theory
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article we examine the appearance of tensionless strings in M-Theory. We subsequently interpret these tensionless strings in a String Theory context. In particular, we examine tensionless strings appearing in M-Theory on S, M-Theory on S/Z2, and MTheory on T ; we then interpret the appearance of such strings in a String Theory context. Then we reverse this process and examine the appearance of some tensionless strings in String Theory. Subsequently we interpret these tensionless strings in a M-Theory context.

Six-Dimensional Tensionless Strings In The Large N Limit
When N five-branes of M-theory coincide the world-volume theory contains tensionless strings, according to Strominger’s construction. This suggests a large N limit of tensionless string theories. For the small E8 instanton theories, the definition would be a large instanton number. An adiabatic argument suggests that in the large N limit an effective extra uncompactified dimension might be obse...
متن کاملMore on Supersymmetric Tensionless Rotating
Rotating IIB strings in AdS5 × S become ultra-relativistic, and hence effectively tensionless, in the limit of large angular momentum on S. We have shown previously that such tensionless strings may preserve supersymmetry. Here we extend this result to include a class of supersymmetric tensionless strings with arbitrary SO(6) angular momentum. We close with some general comments on tensionless ...
متن کاملOn the covariant quantization of tensionless bosonic strings in AdS spacetime
The covariant quantization of the tensionless free bosonic (open and closed) strings in AdS spaces is obtained. This is done by representing the AdS space as an hyperboloid in a flat auxiliary space and by studying the resulting string constrained hamiltonian system in the tensionless limit. It turns out that the constraint algebra simplifies in the tensionless case in such a way that the close...
متن کاملOn the Tensionless Limit of Bosonic Strings, Infinite Symmetries and Higher Spins
In the tensionless limit of string theory on flat background all the massive tower of states gets squeezed to a common zero mass level and the free theory is described by an infinite amount of massless free fields with arbitrary integer high spin. We notice that in this situation the very notion of critical dimension gets lost, the apparency of infinite global symmetries takes place, and the cl...
متن کاملOn the boundary gauge dual of closed tensionless free strings in AdS
We consider closed free tensionless strings in AdSd, calculate exactly the boundary/boundary string evolution kernel and find the string dynamics to be completely frozen. We interpret therefore the boundary configurations as Wilson loop operators in a confining phase. This is taken as an argument in favor to the dual weakly coupled abelian gauge theory being that of (d− 4)-forms in the (d− 1) d...
