On the Stability of Compactified D=11 Supermembranes

چکیده
We prove D = 11 supermembrane theories wrapping around in an irreducible way over S1×S1×M9 on the target manifold, have a hamiltonian with strict minima and without infinity dimensional valleys for the bosonic sector. The minima occur at monopole connections of an associated U(1) bundle over topologically non trivial Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. Explicit expressions for the minimal connections in terms of membrane maps are presented.

The Heat Kernel of the Compactified D = 11 Supermembrane with Non-trivial Winding
We study the quantization of the regularized hamiltonian, H , of the compactified D = 11 supermembrane with nontrivial winding. By showing that H is a relatively small perturbation of the bosonic hamiltonian, we construct a Dyson-type series for the heat kernel of H and prove its convergence in the topology of the von Neumann-Schatten classes so that e is ensured to be of finite trace. The resu...
متن کاملA Note on the Stability of Quantum Supermembranes
We re-examine the question of the stability of quantum supermembranes. In the past, the instability of supermembranes was established by using a regulator, i.e. approximating the membrane by SU(N) super Yang-Mills theory and letting N → ∞. In this paper, we (a) show that the instability persists even if we directly examine the continuum theory, which then opens the door to other types of regula...
متن کاملSupermembranes with Fewer Supersymmetries
The usual supermembrane solution ofD = 11 supergravity interpolates between R11 and AdS4× round S7, has symmetry P3×SO(8) and preserves 1/2 of the spacetime supersymmetries for either orientation of the round S7. Here we show that more general supermembrane solutions may be obtained by replacing the round S7 by any seven-dimensional Einstein space M7. These have symmetry P3 × G, where G is the ...
متن کاملOn the Spectrum of a Matrix Model for the D=11 Supermembrane Compactified on a Torus with Non-trivial Winding
The spectrum of the Hamiltonian of the double compactified D = 11 supermembrane with non-trivial central charge or equivalently the non-commutative symplectic super Maxwell theory is analyzed. In distinction to what occurs for the D = 11 supermembrane in Minkowski target space where the bosonic potential presents string-like spikes which render the spectrum of the supersymmetric model continuou...
متن کاملMatrix Regularization of Open Supermembrane |towards M-theory Ve-brane via Open Supermembrane |
We study open supermembranes in 11 dimensional rigid superspace with 6 dimensional topological defects (M-theory ve-branes). After rederiving in the Green-Schwarz formalism the boundary conditions for open superstrings in the type IIA theory, we determine the boundary conditions for open supermembranes by imposing kappa symmetry and invariance under a fraction of 11 dimensional supersymmetry. T...
