Triangulated Surfaces in Twistor Space: A Kinematical Set up for Open/Closed String Duality
نویسنده
چکیده
We exploit the properties of the hyperbolic space H to discuss a simplicial setting for open/closed string duality based on (random) Regge triangulations decorated with null twistorial fields. We explicitly show that the twistorial N-points function, describing Dirichlet correlations over the moduli space of open N-bordered genus g surfaces, is naturally mapped into the Witten-Kontsevich intersection theory over the moduli space of N-pointed closed Riemann surfaces of the same genus. We also discuss various aspects of the geometrical setting which connects this model to PSL(2,C) Chern-Simons theory.

An interpretation of multigraviton amplitudes
We obtain alternative expressions for the multigraviton tree level amplitudes and discuss their general properties. In particular, by analogy with Yang-Mills theory, we find that some combinatoric structure can be carried by a Chan-Paton factor of general relativity as a gauge theory. Recently, there has been remarkable progress in the computation and understanding of multigluon amplitudes base...
متن کاملCharged States in Twistor String Theory
We discuss the appearance of the GL(1) charged physical operators in the twistor string theory. These operators are shown to be BRST-invariant and non-trivial and some of their correlators and conformal β-functions are computed. Remarkably, the nonconservation of the GL(1) charge in interactions involving these operators, is related to the anomalous term in the Kac-Moody current algebra. While ...
متن کاملHidden Symmetries of the Open N=2 String
It is known for ten years that self-dual Yang-Mills theory is the effective field theory of the open N=2 string in 2+2 dimensional spacetime. We uncover an infinite set of abelian rigid string symmetries, corresponding to the symmetries and integrable hierarchy of the self-dual Yang-Mills equations. The twistor description of the latter naturally connects with the BRST approach to string quanti...
متن کاملDualities and fivebrane instantons
We derive the fivebrane instanton corrections to the hypermultiplet moduli space MH of Calabi-Yau string vacua using S-duality symmetry of the type IIB formulation. The result is given in terms of a set of holomorphic functions on the twistor space of MH . It contains not only all orders of the instanton expansion, but also takes into account the presence of D1-D(-1)-brane instantons. Furthermo...
متن کاملAbout enumerative algebraic geometry in TGD framework
String models and M-theory involve both algebraic and symplectic enumerative geometry. Also in adelic TGD enumerative algebraic geometry emerges. This article gives a brief summary about the basic ideas involved and suggests some applications to TGD. 1. One might want to know the number of points of sub-variety belonging to the number field defining the coefficients of the polynomials. This pro...
