Three Dimensional Periodic U ( 1 ) Gauge Theory and Strings
نویسنده
چکیده
It will be argued that among the known systems in three dimensions that have string like excitations periodic U(1) pure gauge theories are the most likely candidates to lead to a string representation of their universal properties. Some recent work with F. David will also be reviewed.

M-theory and a Topological String Duality
We show how the topological string partition function, which is known to capture the degeneracies of a gas of BPS spinning M2-branes in M-theory compactified to 5 dimensions, is related to a 4-dimensional D-brane system that consists of single D6-brane bound to lower-dimensional branes. This system is described by a topologically twisted U(1) gauge theory, that has been conjecturally identified...
متن کاملTiny Graviton Matrix Theory: DLCQ of IIB Plane-Wave String Theory, A Conjecture
We conjecture that the discrete light-cone quantization (DLCQ) of strings on the maximally supersymmetric type IIB plane-wave background in the sector with J units of lightcone momentum is a supersymmetric 0 + 1 dimensional U(J) gauge theory (quantum mechanics) with PSU(2|2)×PSU(2|2)×U(1) superalgebra. The conjectured Hamiltonian for the plane-wave matrix (string) theory, the tiny graviton matr...
متن کاملساختار فاز میدانهای پیمانهای شبکهای دو بعدی U(N) با کنش مختلط
We study the phase structure of two dimensional pure lattice gauge theory with a Chern term. The symmetry groups are non-Abelian, finite and disconnected sub-groups of SU(3). Since the action is imaginary it introduces a rich phase structure compared to the originally trivial two dimensional pure gauge theory. The Z3 group is the center of these groups and the result shows that if we use one ...
متن کاملNon - Abelian Semilocal Strings in N = 2 Supersymmetric QCD
We consider a benchmark bulk theory in four-dimensions: N = 2 supersymmetric QCD with the gauge group U(N) and N f flavors of fundamental matter hypermul-tiplets (quarks). The nature of the BPS strings in this benchmark theory crucially depends on N f. If N f ≥ N and all quark masses are equal, it supports non-Abelian BPS strings which have internal (orientational) moduli. If N f > N these stri...
متن کاملString Junction from Worldsheet Gauge Theory
We study the three-pronged strings (three string junctions) from the point of view of D-string worldsheet gauge theory. We justify interpreting kink solutions in the 2-dimensional gauge theory as pronged strings by examining BPS energy bounds obtained from this theory. When the ends of the pronged string are on D3-branes, the configuration preserves 1/4 supersymmetry with BPS conditions includi...
