Supersymmetry and the Systematics of T-duality Rotations in Type-II Superstring Theories

چکیده
Let us denote the massless NS-NS background fields by GMN , BMN and φ, and the R-R n-form field strengths by F (n) M1···Mn , where n is even in type-IIA and odd in type-IIB theory. It is customary to define two sets of R-R potentials, which we denote by C (n) M1···Mn and C ′(n) M1···Mn . Denoting by F and C the sums of n-forms ∑n=9 n=1 F (n) and ∑n=8 n=0 C (n) (similarly forC), the relations among them can be written as

ADS / CFT String Duality and Conformal Gauge Theories
Compactification of Type IIB superstring on an AdS5 × S 5/Γ background leads to SU(N) gauge field theories with prescribed matter representations. In the ’t Hooft limit of large N such theories are conformally finite. For finite N and broken supersymmetry (N = 0) I derive the constraints to be twoloop conformal and examine the consequences for a wide choice of Γ and its embedding Γ ⊂ C3(⊃ S5).
متن کاملNew N = 1 Supersymmetric 3 - dimensional Superstring Vacua from U - manifolds
Making use of non-perturbative U-duality symmetries of type II strings we construct new 'superstring' vacua in three dimensions with N=1 supersymmetry. This has an interpretation as compactifying formally from 13 dimensions (S-theory) on Calabi-Yau 5-folds possessing a T 3 × T 2 fibration. We describe some part of the massless multiplets, given by the Hodge spectrum, and point to a correspondin...
متن کاملDuality in the Type–ii Superstring Effective Action
We derive the T–duality transformations that transform a general d = 10 solution of the type–IIA string with one isometry to a solution of the type–IIB string with one isometry and vice versa. In contrast to other superstring theories, the T–duality transformations are not related to a non-compact symmetry of a d = 9 supergravity theory. We also discuss S–duality in d = 9 and d = 10 and the rel...
متن کاملDuality Symmetric Quantization of Superstring
A general covariant quantization of superparticle, Green-Schwarz superstring and a supermembrane with manifest supersymmetry and duality symmetry is proposed. This quantization provides a natural quantum mechanical description of curved BPStype backgrounds related to the ultra-short supersymmetry multiplets. Half-size commuting and anticommuting Killing spinors admitted by such backgrounds in q...
متن کاملD-instantons, Strings and M-theory
Abstract The R terms in the effective action for M-theory compactified on a two-torus are motivated by combining one-loop results in type II superstring theories with the Sl(2,Z) duality symmetry. The conjectured expression reproduces precisely the tree-level and oneloop R terms in the effective action of the type II string theories compactified on a circle, together with the expected infinite ...
