The Yang-mills String as the A-model on the Twistor Space of the Complex Two-dimensional Projective Space with Fluxes and Wilson Loops: the Beta Function
نویسنده
چکیده
We argue that the string theory dual to a certain sector of the four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory at large-N is the A-model wrapping N Lagrangian Dbranes on the twistor space of the complex two-dimensional projective space, with a certain flux and Wilson loop background, by finding that the targetspace beta function of this A-model coincides with the large-N beta function of the Yang-Mills theory. The beta function is obtained by the quantization of the A-model Chern-Simons effective action in target space, provided a certain B-field and Wilson loop background is coupled to the A-model world-sheet sigma-model. The B-field provides the embedding of the four-dimensional permanent address space-time into the two-dimensional base of the Lagrangian-twistorial ChernSimons by the non-commutative large-N Eguchi-Kawai reduction. In fact, in presence of the Wilson loop and B-field background, the large-N loop equation of the twistorial Chern-Simons theory implies the non-commutative vortex equation of (anti-)self-dual type of the pure Yang-Mills theory restricted to a Lagrangian submanifold in space-time, that in turn have been shown to occur, on the Yang-Mills side, in the localization of the loop equation of the full Yang-Mills theory in the (anti-)self-dual variables for a certain diagonal embedding of quasi BPS Wilson loops. Remarkably, the Wilsonean large-N beta function of full Yang-Mills and the large-N A-model target-space beta function coincide.

The Mini-Superambitwistor Space
The essential point underlying twistor string theory [1] is the marriage of Calabi-Yau and twistor geometry in the space CP . This complex projective space is a Calabi-Yau supermanifold and simultaneously the supertwistor space of the complexified, compactified Minkowski space. The interest in a twistorial string theory is related to the fact that twistor geometry allows for a very convenient d...
متن کاملMassless and Massive Three Dimensional Super Yang-Mills Theory and Mini-Twistor String Theory
We propose various ways of adding mass terms to three-dimensional twistor string theory. We begin with a review of mini-twistor space—the reduction of D = 4 twistor space to D = 3. We adapt the two proposals for twistor string theory, Witten's and Berkovits's, to D = 3 super Yang-Mills theory. In Berkovits's model, we identify the enhanced R-symmetry. We then construct B-model topological strin...
متن کاملHeterotic Twistor-String Theory
We reformulate twistor-string theory as a heterotic string based on a twisted (0,2) model. The path integral localizes on holomorphic maps, while the (0,2) moduli naturally correspond to the states of N = 4 super Yang-Mills and conformal supergravity under the Penrose transform. We show how the standard twistor-string formulae of scattering amplitudes as integrals over the space of curves in su...
متن کاملNew string vacua from twistor spaces
We find a new family of AdS4 vacua in IIA string theory. The internal space is topologically either the complex projective space CP or the “flag manifold” SU(3)/(U(1)×U(1)), but the metric is in general neither Einstein nor Kähler. All known moduli are stabilized by fluxes, without using quantum effects or orientifold planes. The analysis is completely ten–dimensional and does not rely on assum...
متن کاملA Note on Graviton Amplitudes for New Twistor String Theories
A new class of twistor string theories were recently constructed by Abou-Zeid, Hull and Mason. The most interesting one of these theories has the particle content of N = 8 supergravity. Arguments are given for the vanishing of the (+ − −)-helicity amplitude for gravitons which suggest that this theory describes a chiral N = 8 supergravity rather than Einstein supergravity. Recently, a new set o...
