Monodromic strings
نویسنده
چکیده
We argue that apart from the standard closed and open strings one may consider a third possibility that we call monodromic strings. The monodromic string propagating on a target looks like an ordinary open string (a mapping from a segment to the target) but its space of states is isomorphic to that of a closed string. It is shown that the monodromic strings naturally appear in T-dualizing closed strings moving on simply connected targets. As a nontrivial topology changing example we show that the monodromic strings on a compact Poisson-Lie group are T-dual to the standard closed strings propagating on the noncompact dual PL group.

On a Problem of Matsumoto and Tamagawa concerning Monodromic Fullness of Hyperbolic Curves: Genus Zero Case
In the present paper, we discuss a problem concerning monodromic fullness of hyperbolic curves over number fields posed by M. Matsumoto and A. Tamagawa in the case where a given hyperbolic curve is of genus 0.

In this paper we present two methods for detecting centers of monodromic degenerate singularities of planar analytic vector fields. These methods use auxiliary symmetric vector fields can be applied independently that the singularity is algebraic solvable or not, or has characteristic directions or not. We remark that these are the first methods which allows to study monodromic degenerate singu...
متن کاملGeometric regularizations and dual conifold transitions
We consider a geometric regularization for the class of conifold transitions relating D-brane systems on noncompact Calabi-Yau spaces to certain flux backgrounds. This regularization respects the SL(2,Z) invariance of the flux superpotential, and allows for computation of the relevant periods through the method of Picard-Fuchs equations. The regularized geometry is a noncompact Calabi-Yau which...
متن کاملA New Fourier Transform
In order to define a geometric Fourier transform, one usually works with either `-adic sheaves in characteristic p > 0 or with D-modules in characteristic 0. If one considers `-adic sheaves on the stack quotient of a vector bundle V by the homothety action of Gm, however, Laumon provides a uniform geometric construction of the Fourier transform in any characteristic. The category of sheaves on ...
متن کاملBIRKHOFF MATRICES, RESIDUES AND RIGIDITY FOR q-DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS
— We introduce and give numerical characterizations of two notions of rigidity for a class of regular singular q-difference equations. A special attention is devoted to the generalized q-hypergeometric equations : we show their rigidity and we proceed with a detailed “monodromic” study of these equations.
