From Superalgebras to Superparticles and Superbranes. (May 2001) Igor V. Rudychev, B.S., Kharkov State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. E. Sezgin In this work I investigate connections between superalgebras and their realizations in terms of particles, branes and field theory models. I start from Poincaré superalgebras with brane charges and study its representations. The existence o...
متن کاملAutomorphisms, Non-linear Realizations and Branes
The theory of non-linear realizations is used to derive the dynamics of the branes of M theory. A crucial step in this procedure is to use the enlarged automorphism group of the supersymmetry algebra recently introduced. The field strengths of the worldvolume gauge fields arise as some of the Goldstone fields associated with this automorphism group. The relationship to the superembedding approa...
متن کاملThe relativistic Lie algebra expansion: from Galilei to Poincaré
We extend a Lie algebra expansion method recently introduced for the (2 + 1)dimensional kinematical algebras to the expansions of the (3 + 1)-dimensional Galilei algebra. One of these expansions goes from the (3 + 1)-dimensional Galilei algebra to the Poincaré one; this process introduces a curvature equal to −1/c, where c is the relativistic constant, in the space of worldlines. This expansion...
متن کاملWrapped Magnetized Branes: Two Alternative Descriptions?
We discuss two inequivalent ways for describing magnetized D-branes wrapped N times on a torus T 2. The first one is based on a non-abelian gauge bundle U(N), while the second one is obtained by means of a Narain T-duality transformation acting on a theory with non-magnetized branes. We construct in both descriptions the boundary state and the open string vertices and show that they give rise t...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Knotted Strings Attached to D-Branes
We extend the general solution to the Cauchy problem for the relativistic closed string (Phys. Lett. B404 (1997) 57-65) to the case of open strings attached to Dp-branes, including the cases where the initial data has a knotlike topology. We use this extended solution to derive intrinsic dynamical properties of open and closed relativistic strings attached to Dp-branes. We also study the singul...
