Discreteness of the Spectrum of the Compactified D = 11 Supermembrane with Non-trivial Winding

چکیده
We analyze the Hamiltonian of the compactified D = 11 supermembrane with non-trivial central charge in terms of the matrix model constructed in [1]. Our main result provides a rigorous proof that the quantum Hamiltonian of the supersymmetric model has compact resolvent and thus its spectrum consists of a discrete set of eigenvalues with finite multiplicity.

On the Spectrum of a Matrix Model for the D=11 Supermembrane Compactified on a Torus with Non-trivial Winding
The spectrum of the Hamiltonian of the double compactified D = 11 supermembrane with non-trivial central charge or equivalently the non-commutative symplectic super Maxwell theory is analyzed. In distinction to what occurs for the D = 11 supermembrane in Minkowski target space where the bosonic potential presents string-like spikes which render the spectrum of the supersymmetric model continuou...
متن کاملThe Heat Kernel of the Compactified D = 11 Supermembrane with Non-trivial Winding
We study the quantization of the regularized hamiltonian, H , of the compactified D = 11 supermembrane with nontrivial winding. By showing that H is a relatively small perturbation of the bosonic hamiltonian, we construct a Dyson-type series for the heat kernel of H and prove its convergence in the topology of the von Neumann-Schatten classes so that e is ensured to be of finite trace. The resu...
متن کاملThe Supermembrane with Central Charges: (2+1)-d Ncsym, Confinement and Phase Transition
The spectrum of the bosonic sector of the D = 11 supermembrane with central charges is shown to be discrete and with finite multiplicities, hence containing a mass gap. The result extends to the exact theory our previous proof of the similar property for the SU(N) regularised model and strongly suggest discreteness of the spectrum for the complete Hamiltonian of the supermembrane with central c...

We prove D = 11 supermembrane theories wrapping around in an irreducible way over S1×S1×M9 on the target manifold, have a hamiltonian with strict minima and without infinity dimensional valleys for the bosonic sector. The minima occur at monopole connections of an associated U(1) bundle over topologically non trivial Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. Explicit expressions for the minimal conn...
متن کاملString-Membrane Duality in Seven Dimensions
The conjectured equivalence of the heterotic string to a K3 compactified type IIA superstring is combined with the conjectured equivalence of the latter to a compactified 11-dimensional supermembrane to derive a string membrane duality in seven dimensions; the membrane is a soliton of the string theory and vice versa. A prediction of this duality is that the heterotic string is a K3 compactific...
