Poincaré invariance in effective string theories

چکیده
We investigate the dispersion relation of the winding closed-string states in SU(N) gauge theory defined on a d-dimensional hypertorus, in a class of effective string theories. We show that order by order in the asymptotic expansion, each energy eigenstate satisfies a relativistic dispersion relation. This is illustrated in the Lüscher-Weisz effective string theory to two-loop order, where the Polyakov loop matrix elements between the vacuum and the closed string states are obtained explicitly. We attempt a generalization of these considerations to the case of compact dimensions transverse to the string.

Poincaré invariance constraints on non-relativistic effective field theories
The heavy quark effective field theory (HQET) is the effective field theory of QCD suitable for describing heavy-light mesons [1]. The heavyquark four momentum can be split into a large and a small component: p = mv + k, where m is the heavy quark mass, v a unit vector and k a residual momentum of the order of ΛQCD. The large and small component fields ψ v are defined in terms of the heavy-quar...

According to the perturbation order, the equations of motion of low-energy string effective action are the generalized Einstein equations. Thus, by making use of the conformal transformation of the metric tensor, it is possible to map the low-energy string effective action into f(T) gravity, relating the dilaton field to the torsion scalar. Considering a homogeneous and isotropic universe and ...
متن کاملNon-Critical Poincaré Invariant Bosonic String Backgrounds and Closed String Tachyons
A new family of non critical bosonic string backgrounds in arbitrary space time dimension D and with ISO(1, D − 2) Poincaré invariance are presented. The metric warping factor and dilaton agree asymptotically with the linear dilaton background. The closed string tachyon equation of motion enjoys, in the linear approximation, an exact solution of “kink” type interpolating between different expec...
متن کاملConformal invariance and degrees of freedom in the QCD string.
We demonstrate that the Hagedorn-like growth of the number of observed meson states can be used to constrain the degrees of freedom of the underlying effective QCD string. We find that the temperature relevant for such string theories is not given by the usual Hagedorn value TH ≈ 160 MeV, but is considerably higher. This resolves an apparent conflict with the results from a static quark-potenti...
متن کاملThe General Class of String Theories on Orbifolds
We investigate the following three consistency conditions for constructing string theories on orbifolds: i) the invariance of the energy-momentum tensors under twist operators, ii) the duality of amplitudes and iii) modular invariance of partition functions. It is shown that this investigation makes it possible to obtain the general class of consistent orbifold models, which includes a new clas...
