Strings through the Microscope *

چکیده
Over the last few years, string theory has changed profoundly. Most importantly , novel duality relations have emerged which involve gauge theories of brane excitations on one side and various closed string backgrounds on the other. In this lecture, we introduce the fundamental ingredients of modern string theory and explain how they are modeled through 2D (boundary) conformal field theory. This so-called 'microscopic description' of strings and branes is an active research area with new results ranging from the classification and construction of boundary conditions to studies of 2D renormalization group flows. We shall provide an overview of such developments before concluding the lecture with an extensive outlook on some present and future research that is motivated by current problems in string theory. This includes investigations of non-rational and non-unitary conformal field theories.

This study examines weaving techniques in three rare samples of Ghashghaei tribe hand-woven artifacts. Two first samples, “Shishe dermeh baafi” and “O’ei baafi” (2 laaye baafi) we found similarities and differences in the weaving structures, which are: Similarities: Both are hand-woven products woven through flat weaving, having two opposite colours warp and woof. ...
متن کاملThe Analytic Technique and Experimental Research Methods of Post-buckling about Slender Rod Strings in Wellbore
The buckling behavior of rod strings in wellbore is one of the key issues in petroleum engineering. The slender rod strings in vertical wellbore were selected as research objects. Based on the energy method, the critical load formulas of sinusoidal and helical buckling were derived for the string with the bottom of the wellbore pressure. According to the sinusoidal and helical buckling’s geomet...
متن کاملA Fast and Accurate Global Maximum Power Point Tracking Method for Solar Strings under Partial Shading Conditions
This paper presents a model-based approach for the global maximum power point (GMPP) tracking of solar strings under partial shading conditions. In the proposed method, the GMPP voltage is estimated without any need to solve numerically the implicit and nonlinear equations of the photovoltaic (PV) string model. In contrast to the existing methods in which first the locations of all the local pe...

It is shown that in the standard vacuum 5D Kaluza-Klein gravity there is wormhole-like solutions which look like strings attached to two D-branes. The asymptotical behaviour of the corresponding metric is investigated.
