Anomalous Couplings in M-Theory and String Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We explore how various anomaly-cancelling terms in M-theory and string theory transform non-trivially into each other under duality. Specifically, we study the phenomenon in which bulk terms in M-theory get mapped to brane worldvolume terms in string theory. The key mathematical ingredient is G-index theory.

Anomalies , Anomalous U ( 1 ) ’ s and generalized Chern - Simons terms
A detailed analysis of anomalous U(1)'s and their effective couplings is performed both in field theory and string theory. It is motivated by the possible relevance of such couplings in particle physics, as well as a potential signal distinguishing string theory from other UV options. The most general anomaly related effective action is analyzed and parameterized. It contains Stückelberg, axion...
متن کاملBulk viscous string cosmological models in Saez – Ballester theory of gravitation
Spatially homogeneous Bianchi type-II, VIII and IX anisotropic, as well as isotropic cosmological models can be obtained in a scalar tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez and Ballester (1986) when the source for energy momentum tensor is a bulk viscous fluid containing one-dimensional cosmic strings. All the models obtained and presented here are expanding, non-rotating and accelerating...
متن کاملAnomalous U(1)s, Chern-Simons couplings and the Standard Model
This proceeding is based on hep-th/0605225 and it shows that the most general anomaly related effective action contains Stückelberg, axionic and Chern-Simonslike couplings. Such couplings are generically non-trivial in orientifold string vacua. A similar analysis in quantum field theories provides similar couplings. These ChernSimons couplings generate new signals which might be visible at LHC....
متن کاملThe generalized scaling function of AdS/CFT and semiclassical string theory
Recently, Freyhult, Rej and Staudacher (FRS) proposed an integral equation determining the leading logarithmic term of the anomalous dimension of sl(2) twistoperators in N = 4 SYM for large Lorentz spin M and twist L at fixed j = L= log M . We discuss the large j limit of the FRS equation. This limit can be matched with the fast long string limit of AdS5 S5 superstring perturbation theory at al...
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY
The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...
