Liouville Field Theory on a Unoriented Surface

چکیده
Liouville field theory on a unoriented surface is investigated, in particular, the one point function on a RP2 is calculated. The constraint of the one point function is obtained by using the crossing symmetry of the two point function. There are many solutions of the constraint and we can choose one of them by considering the modular bootstrap. ∗ E-mail: [email protected]

متن کاملLiouville Field Theory — A decade after the revolution
We review recent developments (up to January 2004) of the Liouville field theory and its matrix model dual. This review consists of three parts. In the part I, we review the bosonic Liouville theory. After briefly reviewing the necessary background, we discuss the bulk structure constants (the DOZZ formula) and the boundary states (the FZZT brane and the ZZ brane). Various applications are also...
متن کاملTadpole Cancellation in Unoriented Liouville Theory
The tadpole cancellation in the unoriented Liouville theory is discussed. Using two different methods — the free field method and the boundary-crosscap state method, we derive one-loop divergences. Both methods require two D1-branes with the symplectic gauge group to cancel the orientifold tadpole divergence. However, the finite part left is different in each method and this difference is studi...
متن کاملLink Homology and Unoriented Topological Quantum Field Theory
We investigate Khovanov homology of stable equivalence classes of link diagrams on oriented surfaces. We apply Bar-Natan’s geometric formalism to this setting and using unoriented 1+1-dimensional topological quantum field theories we define new link homology theories for stable equivalences classes.
متن کاملSurface operators and separation of variables
Alday, Gaiotto, and Tachikawa conjectured relations between certain 4d N = 2 supersymmetric field theories and 2d Liouville conformal field theory. We study generalizations of these relations to 4d theories with surface operators. For one type of surface operators the corresponding 2d theory is the WZW model, and for another type — the Liouville theory with insertions of extra degenerate fields...
