Strings in Twistor Superspace and Mirror Symmetry
نویسندگان
چکیده
We obtain the super-Landau-Ginzburg mirror of the A-twisted topological sigma model on a twistor superspace – the quadric in CP3|3 × CP3|3 which is a Calabi-Yau supermanifold. We show that the B-model mirror has a geometric interpretation. In a particular limit for one of the Kähler parameters of the quadric, we show that the mirror can be interpreted as the twistor superspace CP3|4. This agrees with the recent conjecture of Neitzke and Vafa proposing a mirror equivalence between the two twistor superspaces.

N = 2 Strings and the Twistorial Calabi-yau
We argue that open N = 2 string theory on spacetime with signature (2, 2), when covariantized with respect to SO(2, 2) and supersymmetrized a la Siegel, becomes equivalent to the topological A model on CP3|4 with branes wrapped on RP3|4. Worldsheet instantons ending on the branes deform the self-dual Yang-Mills to ordinary Yang-Mills. Moreover, we propose that mirror symmetry may explain the re...
متن کاملMembrane instantons from mirror symmetry
We use mirror symmetry to determine and sum up a class of membrane instanton corrections to the hypermultiplet moduli space metric arising in Calabi–Yau threefold compactifications of type IIA strings. These corrections are mirror to the D1 and D(−1)–brane instantons on the IIB side and are given explicitly in terms of a single function in projective superspace. The corresponding four-dimension...
متن کاملClassical part of the twistor story
Twistors Grassmannian formalism has made a breakthrough in N = 4 supersymmetric gauge theories and the Yangian symmetry suggests that much more than mere technical breakthrough is in question. Twistors seem to be tailor made for TGD but it seems that the generalization of twistor structure to that for 8-D imbedding space H = M × CP2 is necessary. M (and S as its Euclidian counterpart) and CP2 a...
متن کاملSuperspace Formulation of 4 D Higher Spin Gauge Theory
Interacting AdS4 higher spin gauge theories with N ≥ 1 supersymmetry so far have been formulated as constrained systems of differential forms living in a twistor extension of 4D spacetime. Here we formulate the minimal N = 1 theory in superspace, leaving the internal twistor space intact. Remarkably, the superspace constraints have the same form as those defining the theory in ordinary spacetim...
متن کاملManifest supersymmetry and the ADHM construction of instantons
We present the (0, 4) superspace version of Witten’s sigma model construction for ADHM instantons. We use the harmonic superspace formalism, which exploits the three complex structures common to both (0, 4) supersymmetry and self-dual YangMills theory. A novel feature of the superspace formulation is the manifest interplay between the ADHM construction and its twistor counterpart.
