Bosonic M Theory

چکیده

We conjecture that there exists a strong coupling limit of bosonic string theory which is related to the 26 dimensional theory in the same way that 11 dimensional M theory is related to superstring theory. More precisely, we believe that bosonic string theory is the compactification on a line interval of a 27 dimensional theory whose low energy limit contains gravity and a three-form potential. The line interval becomes infinite in the strong coupling limit, and this may provide a stable ground state of the theory. We discuss some of the consequences of this conjecture.

SOME POINTS ON CASIMIR FORCES

Casimir forces of massive ferrnionic Dirac fields are calculated for parallel plates geometry in spatial space with dimension d and imposing bag model boundary conditions. It is shown that in the range of ma>>l where m is mass of fields quanta and a is the separation distance of the plates, it is equal to massive bosonic fields Casimir force for each degree of freedom. We argue this equalit...

Supersymmetric structure of the bosonic string theory in the Beltrami parametrization

We show that the bosonic string theory quantized in the Beltrami parametrization possesses a supersymmetric structure like the vectorsupersymmetry already observed in topological field theories. Supported in part by the ”Fonds zur Förderung der Wissenschaftlichen Forschung”, M008-Lise Meitner Fellowship.

Coset Symmetries in Dimensionally Reduced Bosonic String Theory

We discuss the dimensional reduction of various effective actions, particularly that of the closed Bosonic string and pure gravity, to two and three dimensions. The result for the closed Bosonic string leads to coset symmetries which are in agreement with those recently predicted and argued to be present in a new unreduced formulation of this theory. We also show that part of the Geroch group a...

Hidden superconformal symmetry in M-theory

The bosonic sectors of the eleven-dimensional and IIA supergravity theories are derived as non-linear realisations. The underlying group includes the conformal group, the general linear group and as well as automorphisms of the supersymmetry algebra. We discuss the supersymmetric extension and argue that OSp(1/64) is a symmetry of M-theory. We also derive the effective action of the closed boso...

Covariant Matrix Model of Superparticle in the Pure Spinor Formalism

On the basis of the Berkovits pure spinor formalism of covariant quantization of supermembrane, we attempt to construct a M(atrix) theory which is covariant under SO(1, 10) Lorentz group. We first construct a bosonic M(atrix) theory by starting with the first-order formalism of bosonic membrane, which precisely gives us a bosonic sector of M(atrix) theory by BFSS. Next we generalize this method...
