Oriented Matroid Theory as a Mathematical Framework for M-theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We claim that M(atroid) theory may provide a mathematical framework for an underlying description of M-theory. Duality is the key symmetry which motivates our proposal. The definition of an oriented matroid in terms of the Farkas property plays a central role in our formalism. We outline how this definition may be carried over M-theory. As a consequence of our analysis we find a new type of action for extended systems which combines dually the p-brane and its dual p-brane.

متن کاملSearch for a “gravitoid” Theory
By combining the concepts of graviton and matroid, we outline a new gravitational theory which we call gravitoid theory. The idea of this theory emerged as an attempt to link the mathematical structure of matroid theory with M-theory. Our observations are essentially based on the formulation of matroid bundle due to MacPherson and Anderson-Davis. Also, by considering the oriented matroid theory...

We prove that the mathematical framework for the de Sitter top system is the de Sitter fiber bundle. In this context, the concept of soldering associated with a fiber bundle plays a central role. We comment on the possibility that our formalism may be of particular interest in different contexts including MacDowell-Mansouri theory, two time physics and oriented matroid theory.
متن کاملDeveloping a New Bi-Objective Functions Model for a Hierarchical Location-Allocation Problem Using the Queuing Theory and Mathematical Programming
In this research, a hierarchical location-allocation problem is modeled in a queue framework. The queue model is considered as M/M/1/k, in which system capacity is finite, equals to k. This is the main contribution of the current research. Customer's enters to the system in order to find the service according to a Poisson. In this problem, the hierarchical location-allocation model is considere...
متن کاملOriented Matroids
The theory of oriented matroids provides a broad setting in which to model, describe, and analyze combinatorial properties of geometric configurations. Apparently totally different mathematical objects such as point and vector configurations, arrangements of hyperplanes, convex polytopes, directed graphs, and linear programs find a common generalization in the language of oriented matroids. The...
