S and U - duality Constraints on IIB S - matrices

چکیده
S and U-duality dictate that graviton scattering amplitudes in IIB superstring theory be automorphic functions on the appropriate fundamental domain which describe the inequiv-alent vacua of (compactified) theories. A constrained functional form of graviton scattering is proposed using Eisenstein series and their generalizations compatible with: a) two-loop supergravity, b) genus one supersting theory, c) the perturbative coupling dependence of the superstring, and d) with the unitarity structure of the massless modes. The form has a perturbative truncation in the genus expansion at a given order in the derivative expansion. Comparisons between graviton scattering S-matrices and effective actions for the first quan-tized superstring are made at the quantum level. Possible extended finiteness properties of maximally extended quantum supergravity theories in different dimensions is implied by the perturbative truncation of the functional form of graviton scattering in IIB superstring theory.

We offer a physical derivation of the duality between the topological U(1) gauge theory on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold and the topological string theory on the same manifold. This duality was conjectured recently by Iqbal, Nekrasov, Okounkov, and Vafa. We deduce it from the S-duality of the IIB superstring.
متن کاملTimelike Hopf Duality and Type Iia * String Solutions
The usual T-duality that relates the type IIA and IIB theories compactified on circles of inversely-related radii does not operate if the dimensional reduction is performed on the time direction rather than a spatial one. This observation led to the recent proposal that there might exist two further ten-dimensional theories, namely type IIA * and type IIB * , related to type IIB and type IIA re...
متن کاملAnomalous U(1)’s in Type I and Type IIB D=4, N=1 string vacua
We study the cancellation of U (1) anomalies in Type I and Type IIB D = 4, N = 1 string vacua. We first consider the case of compact toroidal Z N Type IIB orientifolds and then proceed to the non-compact case of Type IIB D3 branes at orbifold and orientifold singularities. Unlike the case of the heterotic string we find that for each given vacuum one has generically more than one U (1) with non...

We offer a derivation of the duality between the topological U(1) gauge theory on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold and the topological A-model on the same manifold. This duality was conjectured recently by Iqbal, Nekrasov, Okounkov, and Vafa. We deduce it from the S-duality of the IIB superstring. We also argue that the mirror version of this duality relates the topological B-model on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold an...
متن کاملHeterotic String Theory on Anti-de-Sitter Spaces
We suggest that compactifications on Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) spaces of type IIA, IIB, heterotic strings and eleven dimensional vacuua of M-theory are related by a combination of T and strong/weak dualities. Maldacena conjecture relates then all these vacuua to a conformal theory on the boundaries. Furthermore acting with discrete groups on part of the internal spaces of these theories leads to fur...
