2 Constraints from Modular invariance
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider C/ZN and C/ZN orbifolds of heterotic string theories and ZN orbifolds of AdS3. We study theories with N=2 worldsheet superconformal invariance and construct RG flows. Following Harvey, Kutasov, Martinec and Moore, we compute gcl and show that it decreases monotonically along RG flowsas conjectured by them. For the heterotic string theories, the gauge degrees of freedom do not contribute to the computation of gcl.

We investigate the problem of the superuniversality of the phase transition between different quantum Hall plateaus. We construct a set of models which give a qualitative description of this transition in a pure system of interacting charged particles. One of the models is manifestly invariant under both Duality and Periodic shifts of the statistical angle and, hence, it has a full Modular Inva...

An analysis of soft breaking under the constraint of modular invariance is given. The role of dilaton and moduli dependent front factors in achieving a modular invariant Vsoft is emphasized. Further, it is shown that in string models tan β is no longer a free parameter but is determined in terms of αstring and the other soft parameters by the constraints of modular invariance and radiative elec...
متن کاملMonte Carlo study of a U ( 1 ) × U ( 1 ) loop model with modular invariance
We study a U (1) × U (1) system in (2+ 1) dimensions with long-range interactions and mutual statistics. The model has the same form after the application of operations from the modular group, a property which we call modular invariance. Using the modular invariance of the model, we propose a possible phase diagram. We obtain a sign-free reformulation of the model and study it in Monte Carlo. T...
متن کامل(Pseudo-)Trace Functions and Modular Invariance of Vertex Operator Algebra
By including interlocked modules, we showed a modular invariance property of (pseudo) trace functions of modules for a 2-dimensional conformal field theory satisfying C 2-finiteness condition.
