Normal ordering and boundary conditions for fermionic string coordinates
نویسندگان
چکیده
We build up normal ordered products for fermionic open string coordinates consistent with boundary conditions. The results are obtained considering the presence of antisymmetric tensor fields. We find a discontinuity of the normal ordered products at string endpoints even in the absence of the background. We discuss how the energy momentum tensor also changes at the world-sheet boundary in such a way that the central charge keeps the standard value at string end points.

Asymptotic Approximations of the Solution for a Traveling String under Boundary Damping
Transversal vibrations of an axially moving string under boundary damping are investigated. Mathematically, it represents a homogenous linear partial differential equation subject to nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. The string is moving with a relatively (low) constant speed, which is considered to be positive. The string is kept fixed at the first end, while the other end is tied with the ...
متن کاملFermionic String from Abelian Higgs Model with monopoles and Θ-term
The four dimensional Abelian Higgs model with monopoles and Θ-term is considered in the limit of the large mass of the higgs boson. We show that for Θ = 2π the theory is equivalent, at large distances, to summation over all possible world-sheets of fermionic strings with Dirichlet type boundary conditions on string coordinates. Dedicated to the memory of Alexandr Hohlov. e–mail: akhmedov@vxitep...
متن کاملString Theories on Flat Supermanifolds
We construct bosonic string theories, RNS string theories and heterotic string theories on flat supermanifolds. For these string theories, we show cancellations of the central charges and modular invariance. Bosonic string theories on supermanifolds have dimensions (DB, DF ) = (26, 0), (28, 2), (30, 4), · · · , where DB and DF are the numbers of bosonic coordinates and fermionic coordinates, re...
متن کاملNormal ordering and boundary conditions in open bosonic strings
Boundary conditions play a non trivial role in string theory. For instance the rich structure of D-branes is generated by choosing appropriate combinations of Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. Furthermore, when an antisymmetric background is present at the string end-points (corresponding to mixed boundary conditions) space time becomes non-commutative there. We show here how to build ...
متن کاملHeterotic string.
Recent interest in superstring unified field theories has been sparked by the discovery of Green and Schwarz' that nonorientable (type I) open and closed superstrings with N = 1 supersymmetry are finite and free of anomalies if the gauge group is SO(32). Previously the only consistent, anomaly-free3 superstring theory was that of orientable (type II) N = 2 supersymmetric closed strings. The new...
