Chiral Rings and Physical States in c < 1 String Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We show how the double cohomology of the String and Felder BRST charges naturally leads to the ring structure of c < 1 strings. The chiral ring is a ring of polynomials in two variables modulo an equivalence relation of the form x ≃ y for the (p+1, p) model. We also study the states corresponding to the edges of the conformal grid whose inclusion is crucial for the closure of the ring. We introduce candidate operators that correspond to the observables of the matrix models. Their existence is motivated by the relation of one of the screening operators of the minimal model to the zero momentum dilaton.

Chiral rings and GSO projection in Orbifolds
The GSO projection in the twisted sector of orbifold background is sometimes subtle and incompatible descriptions are found in literatures. Here, from the equivalence of partition functions in NSR and GS formalisms, we give a simple rule of GSO projection for the chiral rings of string theory in C/Zn, r = 1, 2, 3. Necessary constructions of chiral rings are given by explicit mode analysis. ∗Wor...
متن کاملTree scattering amplitudes of the spin-4/3 fractional superstring. II. The twisted sectors.
The spin-4/3 fractional superstring is characterized by a world-sheet chiral algebra involving spin-4/3 currents. The discussion of the tree-level scattering amplitudes of this theory presented in Ref. [1] is expanded to include amplitudes containing two twisted-sector states. These amplitudes are shown to satisfy spurious state decoupling. The restriction to only two external twisted-sector st...
متن کاملSupersymmetry and gauge invariance constraints in a U(1) x U(1)'-Higgs superconducting cosmic string model.
A supersymmetric extension of the U(1)× U(1)′-Higgs bosonic superconducting cosmic string model is considered, where the action is constructed from scalar chiral and vector superfields. The chiral superfields are assumed to transform separately under the Abelian gauge groups, and the constraints imposed upon such a model due to renormalizability, supersymmetry, and gauge invariance are examined...
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...
متن کاملTopological Structure in ĉ = 1 Fermionic String Theory
ĉ = 1 fermionic string theory, which is considered as a fermionic string theory in two dimension, is shown to decompose into two mutually independent parts, one of which can be viewed as a topological model and the other is irrelevant for the theory. The physical contents of the theory is largely governed by this topological structure, and the discrete physical spectrum of ĉ = 1 string theory i...
