Mathematics and Physics of N=2 Strings
نویسنده
چکیده
Open and closed strings with two worldsheet supersymmetries in 2+2 dimensional spacetime are reviewed in the NSR formulation. I briefly discuss their quantization, mutual and self-interactions, classical spacetime dynamics and interpretation in terms of self-dual Yang-Mills and gravity. A stringy origin of the infinite self-dual gravity hierarchy is presented. An outlook to the loop level concludes. Talk presented at SQS-99 during 27–31 July, 1999, at JINR, Dubna, Russia

DEVELOPMENT 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 strings and their physical applications
We give an introductory review of topological strings and their application to various aspects of superstrings and supersymmetric gauge theories. This review includes developing the necessary mathematical background for topological strings, such as the notions of Calabi-Yau manifold and toric geometry, as well as physical methods developed for solving them, such as mirror symmetry, large N dual...
متن کاملBulk viscous string cosmological models in Saez – Ballester theory of gravitation
Spatially homogeneous Bianchi type-II, VIII and IX anisotropic, as well as isotropic cosmological models can be obtained in a scalar tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez and Ballester (1986) when the source for energy momentum tensor is a bulk viscous fluid containing one-dimensional cosmic strings. All the models obtained and presented here are expanding, non-rotating and accelerating...
متن کاملShort strings containing all k-element permutations
We consider the problem of finding short strings that contain all permutations of order k over an alphabet of size n, with k ≤ n. We show constructively that k(n− 2) + 3 is an upper bound on the length of shortest such strings, for n ≥ k ≥ 10. Consequently, for n ≥ 10, the shortest strings that contain all permutations of order n have length at most n− 2n+ 3. These two new upper bounds improve ...
متن کاملThe Cognitive Goal Achievement of 3 Physics & Laboratory Courses in Secondary School
This paper presents a report on the level of achievement in the third grade of high school courses of physics and laboratory. This research is assessment-oriented and evaluative and in collecting of data follows the grounded theory method. Curricular goal achievement was assessed with evaluating mathematics and science students (N=369) from five districts in Tehran via academic achievement test...
