Deformation quantization as the origin of D-brane non-Abelian degrees of freedom
نویسنده
چکیده
I construct a map from the Grothendieck group of coherent sheaves to Khomology. This results in explicit realizations of K-homology cycles associated with D-brane configurations. Non-Abelian degrees of freedom arise in this framework from the deformation quantization of N -tuple cycles. The large N limit of the gauge theory on D-branes wrapped on a subvariety V of some variety X is geometrically interpreted as the deformation quantization of the formal completion of X along V.

Quantum Myers effect and its Supergravity dual for D0/D4 systems
The presence of a distant D4-brane is used to further investigate the duality between Mtheory and D0-brane quantum mechanics. A polarization of the quantum mechanical ground state is found. A similar deformation arises for the bubble of normal space found near D0-branes in classical supergravity solutions. These deformations are compared and are shown to have the same structure in each case. In...
متن کاملOn the Non-abelian Born-infeld Action
We discuss some aspects of the generalization of the Born-Infeld action to non-abelian gauge groups and show how the discrepancy between Tseytlin’s symmetrized trace proposal and string theory can be corrected at order F . We also comment on the possible quadratic order fermionic terms. While the talk I gave at the Gong Show session of Cargèse’ 99 Summer School was devoted to an outline of the ...
متن کاملOn N-ary Algebras, Polyvector Gauge Theories in Noncommutative Clifford Spaces and Deformation Quantization
Polyvector-valued gauge field theories in noncommutative Clifford spaces are presented. The noncommutative binary star products are associative and require the use of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula. An important relationship among the n-ary commutators of noncommuting spacetime coordinates [X, X, ......, X] and the poly-vector valued coordinates X in noncommutative Clifford spaces is expl...
متن کاملClassical Hair in String Theory II: Explicit Calculations
After emphasizing the importance of obtaining a space-time understanding of black hole entropy, we further elaborate our program to identify the degrees of freedom of black holes with classical spacetime degrees of freedom. The Cvetič-Youm dyonic black holes are discussed in some detail as an example. In this example hair degrees of freedom transforming as an effective string can be identified ...
متن کاملD - Brane Wess - Zumino Actions , T - Duality and the Cosmological Constant
A geometrical formulation of the T-duality rules for type II superstring Ramond–Ramond fields is presented. This is used to derive the Wess-Zumino terms in superstring D-brane actions, including terms proportional to the mass parameter of the IIA theory, thereby completing partial results in the literature. For non-abelian world-volume gauge groups the massive type IIA D-brane actions contain n...
