T-Duality Considerations for Hadronic Strings
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that a simple account of hadronic high energy total cross-sections and of the observed masses and flavor-gauge-like couplings of the familiar vector mesons is obtained in a hadronic string model suggested by QCD in the limit of a large number of colors. Our picture involves a Minkowski space which in addition to the well established continuous one time and three space dimensions is endowed with an extra discrete space dimension involving a minimal 2-point lattice with spacing of order 10 cm in one of the two T-dual pictures. New mesonic states with characteristic decay modes are expected in such a picture.

T-Duality Group for Open String Theory
We study T-duality for open strings on tori Td. The general boundary conditions for the open strings are constructed, and it is shown that T-duality group, which preserves the mass spectrum of closed strings, preserves also the mass spectrum of the open strings. The open strings are transformed to those with different boundary conditions by T-duality. We also discuss the T-duality for D-brane m...
متن کاملAn M-theory Flop as a Large N Duality
We show how a recently proposed large N duality in the context of type IIA strings with N = 1 supersymmetry in 4 dimensions can be derived from purely geometric considerations by embedding type IIA strings in M-theory. The phase structure of M-theory on
متن کاملA Note on T-Duality, Open Strings in B-field Background and Canonical Transformations
In this paper we study T-duality for open strings ending on branes with non-zero B-field on them from the point of view of canonical transformations. For the particular case of type II strings on the two torus we show that the Sl(2, Z)N transformations can be understood as a sub-class of canonical transformations on the open strings in the B-field background. ∗ E-mail:[email protected]
متن کاملPOMERON and AdS/CFT CORRESPONDENCE FOR QCD
It has been a long held belief that QCD in a non-perturbative setting can be described by a string theory. This thirty-year search for the QCD strings has recently led to a remarkable conjecture: QCD is holographically dual to gravity in extra dimensions. To be more precise, the Maldacena conjecture and its further extensions state that Yang-Mills theory is exactly dual to a critical string the...
متن کامل1 Remarks on T - duality for open strings
This contribution gives in σ-model language a short review of recent work on T-duality for open strings in the presence of abelian or non-abelian gauge fields. Furthermore, it adds a critical discussion of the relation between RG β-functions and the Born-Infeld action in the case of a string coupled to a D-brane. This contribution gives in σ-model language a short review of recent work on T-dua...
