The Effective Action and Geometry of Closed N = 2
نویسندگان
چکیده
N = 2 closed strings have been recently divided in hep-th/0211147 to two T-dual families denoted by α and β. In (2, 2) signature both families have one scalar in the spectrum. The scalar in the β-string is known to be a deformation of the target space Kähler potential and the dynamics is that of self-dual gravity. In this paper we compute the effective action of the scalar in the α-string. The scalar is a deformation of a potential that determines the metric, torsion and dilaton. The scalar is free and the dynamics is that of a self-dual curvature with torsion.

متن کاملHolomorphic N = 1 Special Geometry of Open – Closed Type II Strings
We outline a general geometric structure that underlies the N = 1 superpotentials of a certain class of flux and brane configurations in type II string compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds. This " holomorphic N = 1 special geometry " is in many respects comparable to, and in a sense an extension of, the familiar special geometry in N = 2 supersymmetric type II string compactifications. It...
متن کاملD-Branes in Curved Space
We review recent work on the structure of the action forN D0-branes in a curved background, with emphasis on the meaning of space-time diffeomorphism invariance. Talk given at the Francqui Colloquium, 2001, “Strings and Gravity: Tying the Forces Together.” E-mail: [email protected] Since their introduction in 1995 [1], D-branes have played a tremendously important role in string theory. It...

متن کاملA CLOSED-FORM NON- LINEAR SOLUTION FOR PLASTIC FLANGE WRINKLING OF CIRCULAR PLATES IN DEEP DRAWING PROCESS
This paper deals with two-dimensional plane stress wrinkling model of a plastic annular plate. Based on energy method and the nonlinearity of strain-displacement law, a bifurcation function in polar coordinates is derived analytically. This technique leads to the critical conditions for the onset of the plastic wrinkling of flange during the deep drawing process. To find this solution, the Tres...
