Tadpole Cancellation in Unoriented Liouville Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
The tadpole cancellation in the unoriented Liouville theory is discussed. Using two different methods — the free field method and the boundary-crosscap state method, we derive one-loop divergences. Both methods require two D1-branes with the symplectic gauge group to cancel the orientifold tadpole divergence. However, the finite part left is different in each method and this difference is studied. We also discuss the validity of the free field method and the possible applications of our result.

Liouville Field Theory — A decade after the revolution
We review recent developments (up to January 2004) of the Liouville field theory and its matrix model dual. This review consists of three parts. In the part I, we review the bosonic Liouville theory. After briefly reviewing the necessary background, we discuss the bulk structure constants (the DOZZ formula) and the boundary states (the FZZT brane and the ZZ brane). Various applications are also...
متن کاملAnomaly Cancellation in Noncritical String Theory
We construct new two dimensional unoriented superstring theories in two dimensions with a chiral closed string spectrum and show that anomalies cancel upon supplying the appropriate chiral open string degrees of freedom imposed by tadpole cancellation. 8/2005 1 [email protected]
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Unoriented Strings And Matrix Models
We investigate unoriented strings and superstrings in two dimensions and their dual matrix quantum mechanics. Most of the models we study have a tachyon tadpole coming from the RP 2 worldsheet which needs to be cancelled by a renormalization of the worldsheet theory. We find evidence that the dual matrix models describe the renormalized theory. The singlet sector of the matrix models is integra...
متن کاملLiouville Field Theory on an Unoriented Surface
Liouville field theory on an unoriented surface is investigated, in particular, the one point function on a RP2 is calculated. The constraint of the one point function is obtained by using the crossing symmetry of the two point function. There are many solutions of the constraint and we can choose one of them by considering the modular bootstrap. ∗E-mail: [email protected]
