Coset-space String Compactification Leading to 14 Subcritical Dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
Using sigma-model approach, we study a class of coset spaces with torsion which compactify the D = 26 closed bose-string theory. Requiring also that massless chiral fermions arise from the geometry/topology of coset space, we are left with the unique possibility: it implies D = 14 subcritical dimensions and the isometry group G 2 × G 2 .

متن کاملThe Non-Split Scalar Coset in Supergravity Theories
The general non-split scalar coset of supergravity theories is discussed.The symmetric space sigma model is studied in two equivalent formulations and for different coset parametrizations.The dualisation and the local first order formulation is performed for the non-split scalar coset G/K when the rigid symmetry group G is a real form of a non-compact semisimple Lie group (not necessarily split...
متن کاملStatic dilaton solutions and singularities in six dimensional warped compactification with higher derivatives
Static solutions with a bulk dilaton are derived in the context of six dimensional warped compactification. In the string frame, exponentially decreasing warp factors are identified with critical points of the low energy β-functions truncated at a given order in the string tension corrections. The stability of the critical points is discussed in the case of the first string tension correction. ...
متن کاملStrong/weak Coupling Duality from the Dual String
On compactification to six spacetime dimensions, the fundamental heterotic string admits as a soliton a dual string whose effective worldsheet action couples to the background fields of the dual formulation of six-dimensional supergravity. On further toroidal compactification to four spacetime dimensions, the dual string acquires an O(2, 2;Z) target-space duality. This contains as a subgroup th...
