Enhanced Coset Symmetries and Higher Derivative Corrections
نویسنده
چکیده
After dimensional reduction to three dimensions, the lowest order effective actions for pure gravity, M-theory and the Bosonic string admit an enhanced symmetry group. In this paper we initiate study of how this enhancement is affected by the inclusion of higher derivative terms. In particular we show that the coefficients of the scalar fields associated to the Cartan subalgebra are given by weights of the enhanced symmetry group. [email protected] [email protected]

Generalized Abelian S-duality and coset constructions
Electric-magnetic duality and higher dimensional analogues are obtained as symmetries in generalized coset constructions, similar to the axial-vector duality of twodimensional coset models described by Roček and Verlinde. We also study global aspects of duality between p-forms and (d−p−2)-forms in d-manifolds. In particular, the modular duality anomaly is governed by the Euler character as in f...
متن کاملThe Dual Faces of String
Duality symmetries for strings moving in non-trivial spacetime backgrounds are analysed. It is shown that, for backgrounds generated from compact WZW and coset models, such duality symmetries are exact to all orders in string perturbation theory. A global treatment of duality symmetries is given, by associating them to the known symmetries of affine current algebras ( affine-Weyl group and exte...
متن کاملA Gribov equation for the photon Green’s function
We present a derivation of the Gribov equation for the gluon/photon Green’s function D(q). Our derivation is based on the second derivative of the gauge-invariant quantity Tr lnD(q), which we interpret as the gauge-boson ‘self-loop’. By considering the higher-order corrections to this quantity, we are able to obtain a Gribov equation which sums the logarithmically enhanced corrections. By solvi...
متن کاملThe Spectrum of the Dirac Operator on Coset Spaces with Homogeneous Gauge Fields
The spectrum and degeneracies of the Dirac operator are analysed on compact coset spaces when there is a non-zero homogeneous background gauge field which is compatible with the symmetries of the space, in particular when the gauge field is derived from the spinconnection. It is shown how the degeneracy of the lowest Landau level in the recently proposed higher dimensional quantum Hall effect i...
متن کاملCoset Symmetries in Dimensionally Reduced Bosonic String Theory
We discuss the dimensional reduction of various effective actions, particularly that of the closed Bosonic string and pure gravity, to two and three dimensions. The result for the closed Bosonic string leads to coset symmetries which are in agreement with those recently predicted and argued to be present in a new unreduced formulation of this theory. We also show that part of the Geroch group a...
