Klein Bottles and Simple Currents
نویسنده
چکیده
The standard Klein bottle coefficient in the construction of open descendants is shown to equal the Frobenius-Schur indicator of a conformal field theory. Other consistent Klein bottle projections are shown to correspond to simple currents. These observations enable us to generalize the standard open string construction from C-diagonal parent theories to include non-standard Klein bottles. Using (generalizations of) the Frobenius-Schur indicator we prove positivity and integrality of the resulting open and closed string state multiplicities for standard as well as non-standard Klein bottles.

On the number of Klein bottle types
Different geometric realizations of topological Klein bottles are discussed and analyzed whether they can be smoothly transformed into one another and thus belong into the same regular homotopy class. Simple and distinct representatives for each of the four expected classes are introduced. In addition, novel and unusual geometries for Klein bottles are presented, some of them knotted, which may...
متن کاملDark Matter Related To Warps , The Unified Field , Quantum Spin And Dark Energy
The unspoken background for this article is a hypothesis for origins (of life, the universe and everything). That hypothesis believes human science is responsible for everything, and neither supernatural nor evolutionary means originate anything. In a biological sense, the Theory of Evolution certainly explains adaptations and modifications. But believing it also explains origins is unwarranted...
متن کاملNondegeneracy of Coverings of Minimal Tori and Klein Bottles in Riemannian Manifolds
We say that a parametrized minimal torus or Klein bottle in a ambient Riemannian manifold M is Morse nondegenerate if it lies on a nondegenerate critical submanifold, which is also an orbit for the group of isometries of the flat metric of total area one. This article shows that for generic choice of Riemannian metric on a compact manifold M of dimension at least four, unbranched multiple cover...
متن کاملFrom Möbius Bands to Klein-Knottles
A construction of various immersed Klein bottles that belong to different regular homotopy classes, and which thus cannot be smoothly transformed into one another, is introduced. It is shown how these shapes can be partitioned into two Möbius bands and how the twistedness of these bands defines the homotopy type. Some wild and artistic variants of Klein bottles are presented for their aesthetic...
متن کاملFrom Moebius Bands to Klein-Knottles
The construction of various of Klein bottles that belong to different regular homotopy classes, and which thus cannot be smoothly transformed into one another, is formally introduced. For all cases it is shown how these shapes can be partitioned into two Moebius bands and how the twistedness of these bands defines the homotopy type. Some wild and artistic variants of Klein bottles are presented...
