Higher derivative terms including the Ramond-Ramond five-form

چکیده
Superfield methods can be used to determine the precise way the self-dual fiveform couples to the metric in the first non-trivial α′ corrections to type IIB supergravity. We explicitly compute the exact tensor structure of these terms. This requires extensive use of computing algorithms to reduce the complicated expressions that appear to a surprisingly simple form. Along the way we show a new method of computing Schouten identities. With this result we clarify under which conditions one may neglect the five-form higher derivative terms. We comment on corrections to the thermodynamics of charged black holes.

Ramond-Ramond Field Transformation
We find that the mixture of Ramond-Ramond fields and Neveu-Schwarz two form are transformed as Majorana spinors under the T-duality group O(d, d). The Ramond-Ramond field transformation under the group O(d, d) is realized in a simple form by using the spinor representation. The Ramond-Ramond field transformation rule obtained by Bergshoeff et al. is shown as a specific simple example. We also g...
متن کاملSeiberg-Witten transformation and Ramond-Ramond couplings
We propose an exact expression for the unintegrated form of the star gauge invariant axial anomaly in an arbitrary even dimensional noncommutative gauge theory. The proposal is based on the inverse Seiberg-Witten map and identities related to it, obtained earlier by comparing Ramond-Ramond couplings in different descriptions. The integrated anomalies are expressed in terms of a simplified versi...
متن کاملSupersymmetry and F-theory realization of the deformed conifold with three-form flux
It is shown that the deformed conifold solution with three-form flux, found by Klebanov and Strassler, is supersymmetric, and that it admits a simple F-theory description in terms of a direct product of the deformed conifold and a torus. Some general remarks on Ramond-Ramond backgrounds and warped compactifications are included.
متن کاملGluing of Branched Surfaces by Sewing of Fermionic String Vertices
We glue together two branched spheres by sewing of two Ramond (dual) two-fermion string vertices and present a rigorous analytic derivation of the closed expression for the four-fermion string vertex. This method treats all oscillator levels collectively and the obtained answer verifies that the closed form of the four vertex previously argued for on the basis of explicit results restricted to ...
متن کاملBulk Kalb-Ramond field in Randall Sundrum scenario
We have considered the most general gauge invariant five-dimensional action of a second rank antisymmetric Kalb-Ramond tensor gauge theory, including a topological term of the form ǫBABHLMN in a Randall-Sundrum scenario. Such a tensor field BAB (whose rank-3 field strength tensor is HLMN ), which appears in the massless sector of a heterotic string theory, is assumed to coexist with the gravity...
