Off - shell Crosscap State and Orientifold Planes
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that a non-trivial dilaton condensation alters the dimensions of orientifold planes. An off-shell crosscap state which naturally interpolates between the usual onshell crosscap states and their T-duals plays an important role in the analysis. We present an explicit representation of the off-shell crosscap state on an RP 2 worldsheet in the gauge in which the worldsheet curvature in the bulk of the fundamental region of the RP 2 vanishes. We show that the non-trivial dilaton condensation reproduces the correct descent relation among orientifold plane tensions.

Off-shell Crosscap State and Orientifold Planes with Background Dilatons

متن کاملExtension of Boundary String Field Theory on Disc
We present a construction of open-closed string field theory based on disc and RP 2 geometries. Finding an appropriate BRS operator in the case of the RP 2 geometry, we generalize the background independent open string field theory (or boundary string field theory) of Witten on a unit disc. The coupling constant flow at the closed string side is driven by the scalar operator inserted at the non...

متن کاملCrosscap States for Orientifolds of Euclidean AdS3
We propose the crosscap states for orientifolds of Euclidean AdS3. We show that our crosscap states reproduce the geometry of orientifolds, which is AdS2. The spectral density of open strings in the system with orientifold can be read from the Möbius strip amplitudes and is compared to that of the open strings stretched between branes and their mirrors. We also compute the Klein bottle amplitud...
متن کاملGravitational Couplings for Gop-planes and Y-op-planes
The results that this paper presents are about gravitational couplings for generalized orientifold planes (GOp-planes) and y-deformed orientifold planes (yOpplanes). The usual orientifold planes do not have gauge fields on their worldvolumes and . The generalized orientifold planes that this paper consider have SO(2k) Yang-Mills gauge fields-bundles over their corresponding worldvolumes. The ai...
