Regularization of Non-commutative SYM by Orbifolds with Discrete Torsion and SL(2, Z) Duality
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct a nonperturbative regularization for Euclidean noncommutative supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with four (N = (2, 2)) , eight (N = (4, 4)) and sixteen (N = (8, 8)) supercharges in two dimensions. The construction relies on orbifolds with discrete torsion, which allows noncommuting space dimensions to be generated dynamically from zero dimensional matrix model in the deconstruction limit. We also nonperturbatively prove that the twisted topological sectors of ordinary supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are equivalent to a noncommutative field theory on the topologically trivial sector with reduced rank and quantized noncommutativity parameter. The key point of the proof is to reinterpret ’t Hooft’s twisted boundary condition as an orbifold with discrete torsion by lifting the lattice theory to a zero dimensional matrix theory.

Quiver Matrix Mechanics for IIB String Theory (II): Generic Dual Tori, Fractional Matrix Membrane and SL(2,Z) Duality
With the deconstruction technique, the geometric information of a torus can be encoded in a sequence of orbifolds. By studying the Matrix Theory on these orbifolds as quiver mechanics, we present a formulation that (de)constructs the torus of generic shape on which Matrix Theory is “compactified”. The continuum limit of the quiver mechanics gives rise to a (1+2)dimensional SYM. A hidden (fourth...
متن کاملDiscrete Torsion and Shift Orbifolds
In this paper we make two observations related to discrete torsion. First, we observe that an old obscure degree of freedom (momentum/translation shifts) in (symmetric) string orbifolds is related to discrete torsion. We point out how our previous derivation of discrete torsion from orbifold group actions on B fields includes these momentum lattice shift phases, and discuss how they are realize...

Let S be an orientable surface. Let Diff(S) be the group of all diffeomorphisms of S, and Diff(S) its identity component. Then Mod±S = Diff(S)/Diff (S) is called the extended mapping class group or the extended Teichmüller modular group of S. Let Diff(S) be the subgroup of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of S. Then Mod(S) = Diff(S)/Diff(S) is called the mapping class group or the Teichmü...
متن کاملBreakdown of Duality in (0,2) Superstring Models
After pointing out the role of the compactification lattice for spectrum calculations in orbifold models, I discuss modular discrete symmetry groups for ZN orbifolds. I consider the Z7 orbifold as a nontrivial example of a (2,2) model and give the generators of the modular group for this case, which does not contain [SL(2,Z)]3 as had been speculated. I also discuss how to treat cases where quan...
متن کاملAnisotropic Solutions For Orbifold Moduli From Duality Invariant Gaugino Condensates
The values of the T and U moduli are studied for those Z N Coxeter orbifolds with the property that some of the twisted sectors have fixed planes for which the six-torus T 6 can not be decomposed into a direct sum T 2 T 4 with the fixed plane lying in T 2. Such moduli in general transform under a subgroup of the modular group SL(2, Z). The moduli are determined by minimizing the effective poten...
