چکیده
We describe a general construction of geometric U-folds compatible with the global formulation of four-dimensional extended supergravity on a differentiable spin manifold. The topology of geometric U-folds depends on certain fiber bundles which encode how supergravity fields are globally glued together. Smooth non-trivial U-folds of this type can exist only in theories where both the scalar and space-time manifolds have non-trivial fundamental group and in addition the configuration of scalar fields of the solution is homotopically non-trivial. Nonetheless, certain geometric U-folds extend to simply-connected backgrounds containing localized sources. Consistency with string theory requires smooth geometric U-folds to be glued using subgroups of the effective discrete U-duality group, implying that the fundamental group of the scalar manifold of such solutions must be a subgroup of the latter. We construct simple examples of geometric U-folds in a generalization of the axiondilaton model of N = 2 supergravity coupled to a single vector multiplet, whose scalar manifold is a generally non-compact Riemann surface of genus at least two endowed with its uniformizing metric. We also discuss the relation between geometric U-folds and a moduli space of flat connections defined on the scalar manifold, which involves certain character varieties not studied in the literature.

متن کاملEvaluating Human Neural Tuning Curves From a Mechanical Model of the Cochlea by Relating Them to Psychophysical Masking Data
Human neural threshold tuning curves are estimated by scaling the parameters of Allen's [1] resonant tectorial membrane model of the cat cochlea. A way to evaluate the derived tuning curves using psychophysical data is developed, based on a psychophysical detection model which relates the physiological tuning curves to psychophysical masking data. A detection criterion, defined by a relationshi...
