نویسنده
چکیده
Let G be a finite group and φ : V → W an equivariant morphism of finite dimensional G-modules. We say that φ is faithful if G acts faithfully on φ(V ). The covariant dimension of G is the minimum of the dimension of φ(V ) taken over all faithful φ. In this paper we investigate covariant dimension and are able to determine it for abelian groups and to obtain estimates for the symmetric and alternating groups. We also classify groups of covariant dimension less than or equal to 2. A byproduct of our investigations is the existence of a purely transcendental field of definition of degree n − 3 for a generic field extension of degree n ≥ 5.

The action early proposed by Schild is metamorphosed in N = 1 two dimensional superspace. In the first metamorphosis, equations of motion for string coordinates are derived in virtue of auxiliary fields as their equations of motions. The second one is expressed by the square of a bracket which is defined with N = 1 superfields and its covariant derivations. The superdeterminant of the induced m...

We derive twistorial tensionful bosonic string action by considering on the world sheet the canonical twistorial 2–form in two–twistor space. We demonstrate the equivalence of or model to two known momentum formulations of D = 4 bosonic string, with covariant worldsheet vectorial string momenta P m μ (τ, σ) and the one with tensorial string momenta P[μν](τ, σ). All considered here string action...

We analyze the question of U⋆(1) gauge invariance in a flat non-commutative space where the parameter of non-commutativity, θ(x), is a local function satisfying Jacobi identity (and thereby leading to an associative Kontsevich product). We show that in this case, both gauge transformations as well as the definitions of covariant derivatives have to modify so as to have a gauge invariant action....

As open N=2 or 4 strings describe self-dual N=4 super Yang-Mills in 2+2 dimensions, the corresponding closed (heterotic) strings describe self-dual un-gauged (gauged) N=8 supergravity. These theories are conveniently formulated in a chiral superspace with general supercoordinate and local OSp(8|2) gauge invariances. The super-light-cone and covariant-component actions are analyzed. Because only...

Superstring field theory was recently used to derive a covariant action for a self-dual five-form field strength. This action is shown to be a ten-dimensional version of the McClain-Wu-Yu action. By coupling to D-branes, it can be generalized in the presence of sources. In four dimensions, this gives a local Maxwell action with electric and magnetic
