Prepotentials, Bi-linear Forms on Periods and Enhanced Gauge Symmetries in Type-II Strings
نویسندگان
چکیده
We construct a bi-linear form on the periods of Calabi-Yau spaces. These are used to obtain the prepotentials around conifold singularities in type-II strings compactified on Calabi-Yau space. The explicit construction of the bi-linear forms is achieved for the onemoduli models as well as two moduli models with K3-fibrations where the enhanced gauge symmetry is known to be observed at conifold locus. We also show how these bi-linear forms are related with the existence of flat coordinates. We list the resulting prepotentials in two moduli models around the conifold locus, which contains α corrections of 4-D N=2 SUSY SU(2) Yang-Mills theory as the stringy effect. e-mail address: [email protected] e-mail address: [email protected]

A Note on Enhanced Gauge Symmetries in M - and String Theory
Two different mechanisms exist in non-perturbative String / Mtheory for enhanced SU(N) (SO(2N)) gauge symmetries. It can appear in type IIA string theory or M-theory near an AN−1 (DN) type singularity where membrnes wrapped around two cycles become massless, or it can appear due to coincident D-branes (and orientifold planes) where open strings stretched between D-branes become massless. In thi...
متن کاملEnhanced Gauge Symmetry in Three-Moduli Models of Type-II String and Hypergeometric Series
The conifold singularities in the type-II string are considered as the points of phase transition. In some cases, these singularities can be understood in the framework of the conventional fields theores as the points of enhanced gauge symmetry. We consider a class of three moduli Type-II strings. It is shown the periods can be written in the form of hypergeometric series around the singular po...
متن کاملThe Heterotic String Is a Soliton
It is shown that the Type IIA superstring compactified on K3 has a smooth string soliton with the same zero mode structure as the heterotic string compactified on a four torus, thus providing new evidence for a conjectured exact duality between the two sixdimensional string theories. The chiral worldsheet bosons arise as zero modes of RamondRamond fields of the IIA string theory and live on a s...
متن کاملWorldsheet CFTs for Flat Monodrofolds
We resolve a puzzle in the theory of strings propagating on locally flat spacetimes with nontrivial Wilson lines for stringy ZZN gauge symmetries. We find that strings probing such backgrounds are described by consistent worldsheet CFTs. The level mismatch in the twisted sectors is compensated by adjusting the quantization of momentum of strings winding around the Wilson line direction in units...
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY
The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...
