Model-building for Fractional Superstrings
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate heterotic string-type model-building for the recently-proposed fractional superstring theories. We concentrate on the cases with critical spacetime dimensions four and six, and find that a correspondence can be drawn between the new fractional superstring models and a special subset of the traditional heterotic string models. This allows us to generate the partition functions of the new models, and demonstrate that their number is indeed relatively limited. It also appears that these strings have uniquely natural compactifications to lower dimensions. In particular, the Dc = 6 fractional superstring has a natural interpretation in four-dimensional spacetime. ⋆ E-mail address: [email protected]

Fractional Superstrings with Critical Spacetime Dimensions Four and Six : A Status Report
We provide a short non-technical survey of the fundamental issues involved in the recently-proposed fractional superstring theories. After introducing the basic ideas which underlie these new string theories, we review their early successes and outline some related outstanding questions. Talk presented at the International Workshop on String Theory, Quantum Gravity, and the Unification of the F...
متن کاملStatus of Fractional Superstrings
We argue why it is important to search beyond the superstring for consistent string theories that have space-time supersymmetry with critical space-time dimensions less than 10. We give a lengthy introduction on the motivation and approach. We discuss briefly some promising possibilities, namely, fractional superstrings. More specifically, we consider the K = 4, or spin-4/3 fractional superstri...

Fractional superstrings experience new types of “internal projections” which alter or deform their underlying worldsheet conformal field theories. In this talk I summarize some recent results concerning both the worldsheet theory which remains after the internal projections have acted, and the spacetime statistics properties of its various sectors. ∗ Talk presented at SUSY-93: International Wor...
متن کاملTree Scattering Amplitudes *
The spin-4/3 fractional superstring is characterized by a chiral algebra involving a spin-4/3 current on the world-sheet in addition to the energy-momentum tensor. These currents generate physical state conditions on the fractional superstring Fock space. Scattering amplitudes of these physical states are described which satisfy both spurious state decoupling and cyclic symmetry (duality). Exam...
متن کاملA New Analytical Model for Developing Fractional Flow Curve Using Production Data
The immiscible displacement of oil by water through a porous and permeable reservoir rock can be described by the use of a fractional flow curves (fw versus Sw). Water flooding project parameters can be obtained from the fractional flow curve. However, developing a representative fractional flow curve for a specific reservoir can be quite challenging when fluid and special core analysis data is...
