Lightcone Quantization of String Theory Duals of Free Field Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
We quantize in light cone gauge the bosonic sector of string theory on Anti-de Sitter space in the zero curvature radius limit. We find that the worldsheet falls apart into a theory of free partons and map the Hilbert space of the string theory to the Hilbert space of a free scalar in light-front description. We outline how the string worldsheet reproduces the field theory at weak coupling.

DEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY
The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...
متن کاملNon - Critical Type 0 String Theories and Their Field Theory Duals
In this paper we continue the study of the non-critical type 0 string and its field theory duals. We begin by reviewing some facts and conjectures about these theories. We move on to our proposal for the type 0 effective action in any dimension, its RR fields and their Chern–Simons couplings. We then focus on the case without compact dimensions and study its field theory duals. We show that one...
متن کاملNon - Critical String Duals of N = 1 Quiver Theories
We construct N =1 non-critical strings in four dimensions dual to strongly coupled N=1 quiver gauge theories in the Coulomb phase, generalizing the string duals of Argyres-Douglas superconformal fixed points in N=2 gauge theories. They are the first examples of superstring vacua with an exact worldsheet description dual to chiral N=1 theories. We identify the dual of the non-critical superstrin...
متن کاملStrong/Weak Coupling Duality Relations for Non-Supersymmetric String Theories
Both the supersymmetric SO(32) and E8 × E8 heterotic strings in ten dimensions have known strong-coupling duals. However, it has not been known whether there also exist strong-coupling duals for the non-supersymmetric heterotic strings in ten dimensions. In this paper, we construct explicit open-string duals for the circle-compactifications of several of these non-supersymmetric theories, among...
متن کاملString Theory Duals for Mass - deformed SO ( N ) and USp ( 2 N ) N = 4 SYM Theories
We generalize the results of Polchinski and Strassler regarding the N = 1-preserving mass deformation of N = 4 SU(N) SYM theories and its string theory dual to SO(N) and USp(2N) gauge groups. The string theory duals involve 5-branes wrapped on RP. In order to match with the field theory classification of vacua, the 3-brane charge carried by such 5-branes must be shifted by a half, and this foll...
