Cocycle Properties of String Theories on Orbifolds ∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study cocycle properties of vertex operators and present an operator representation of cocycle operators, which are attached to vertex operators to ensure the duality of amplitudes. It is shown that this analysis makes it possible to obtain the general class of consistent string theories on orbifolds. ∗ To appear in the proceedings of YITP Workshop on “Recent Developments in String and Field theory” at Kyoto, Japan on September 9-12, 1991. – 1 –

On Dimer Models and Closed String Theories
We study some aspects of the recently discovered connection between dimer models and D-brane gauge theories. We argue that dimer models are also naturally related to closed string theories on non compact orbifolds of C2 and C3, via their twisted sector R charges, and show that perfect matchings in dimer models correspond to twisted sector states in the closed string theory. We also use this for...
متن کاملThe General Class of String Theories on Orbifolds
We investigate the following three consistency conditions for constructing string theories on orbifolds: i) the invariance of the energy-momentum tensors under twist operators, ii) the duality of amplitudes and iii) modular invariance of partition functions. It is shown that this investigation makes it possible to obtain the general class of consistent orbifold models, which includes a new clas...
متن کامل4d Conformal Field Theories and Strings on Orbifolds
We propose correspondences between 4d quantum field theories with N = 2, 1, 0 (super)conformal invariance and Type IIB string theory on various orbifolds of AdS 5 × S 5. We argue using the spacetime string theory, and check using the beta functions (exactly for N = 2, 1 and so far at 1-loop for the gauge couplings in the N = 0 case), that these theories have conformal fixed lines. The latter ca...
متن کامل4 d Conformal Theories and Strings on Orbifolds
We propose correspondences between 4d quantum eld theories with N = 2; 1; 0 (super)conformal invariance and Type IIB string theory on various orbifolds. We argue using the spacetime string theory, and check using the beta functions (exactly for N = 2 ; 1 and so far at 1-loop for the gauge couplings in the N = 0 case), that these theories have confor-mal xed lines. The latter case potentially gi...
متن کاملDon’t Panic! Closed String Tachyons in ALE Spacetimes
We consider closed string tachyons localized at the fixed points of noncompact non-supersymmetric orbifolds. We argue that tachyon condensation drives these orbifolds to flat space or supersymmetric ALE spaces. The decay proceeds via an expanding shell of dilaton gradients and curvature which interpolates between two regions of distinct angular geometry. The string coupling remains weak through...
