Noncompact Gepner Models with Discrete Spectra
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate a noncompact Gepner model, which is composed of a number of SL(2,R)/U(1) Kazama-Suzuki models and N = 2 minimal models. The SL(2,R)/U(1) Kazama-Suzuki model contains the discrete series among the SL(2,R) unitary representations as well as the continuous series. We claim that the discrete series contain the vanishing cohomology and the vanishing cycles of the associated noncompact Calabi-Yau manifold. We calculate the Elliptic genus and the open string Witten indices. In the AN−1 ALE models, they actually agree with the vanishing cohomology and the intersection form of the vanishing cycles.

Coset Character Identities in Superstring Compactifications
We apply the coset character identities (generalization of Jacobi’s abstruse identity) to compact and noncompact Gepner models. In the both cases, we prove that the partition function actually vanishes due to the spacetime supersymmetry. In the case of the compact models and discrete parts of the noncompact models, the partition function includes the expected vanishing factor. But the character...
متن کاملMore about discrete symmetries in compactified string theories
We discuss discrete symmetries in several string compactification schemes. The same constraints on the light spectra as for Gepner models [1] are found in various cases for non-R symmetries. The analogous constraints for R symmetries are also established. Therefore it seems natural to conjecture that they always apply. In a previous paper we found constraints on the light spectra of string comp...
متن کاملGepner-like Description of a String Theory on a Noncompact Singular Calabi-Yau Manifold
We investigate a Gepner-like superstring model described by a combination of multiple minimal models and an N = 2 Liouville theory. This model is thought to be equivalent to the superstring theory on a singular noncompact Calabi-Yau manifold. We construct the modular invariant partition function of this model, and confirm the validity of an appropriate GSO projection. We also calculate the elli...
متن کاملWorldsheet approaches to D-branes on supersymmetric cycles
We consider D-branes wrapped around supersymmetric cycles of Calabi-Yau manifolds from the viewpoint of N = 2 Landau-Ginzburg models with boundary as well as by consideration of boundary states in the corresponding Gepner models. The Landau-Ginzburg approach enables us to provide a target space interpretation for the boundary states. The boundary states are obtained by applying Cardy’s procedur...
متن کاملD-branes in Gepner models and supersymmetry
Boundary states corresponding to wrapped D-branes in Calabi-Yau compactifications of type II strings are discussed using Gepner models. In particular boundary conditions corresponding to D-0 branes and D-instantons in four dimensions are investigated. The boundary states constructed by Recknagel and Schomerus are analyzed in the light-cone gauge and the broken and conserved space-time supersymm...
