DEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

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. Schellekens II. "Remarks on 40 strings" C.Bachas III. "Informal introduction to extended algebras and conformal field theories with c 1 " F.Ravanini IV. "Skein relations and braiding in topological gauge theory" and "Modular geometry and the classification of rational conformal field theories " S. Mukhi V. "Chern-Simons theories" E. Witten VI. "Duality and the rdl of nonperturbative effects on the world-sheet" J.Lauer, J.Mas and H.P. Nilles

N-string vertices in string field theory.

We give the general form of the vertex corresponding to the interaction of an arbitrary number of strings. The technique employed relies on the “comma” representation of String Field Theory where string fields and interactions are represented as matrices and operations between them such as multiplication and trace. The general formulation presented here shows that the interaction vertex of N st...

Singularities in String Theory

String theory is a quantum theory that reproduces the results of General Relativity at long distances but is completely different at short distances. Mathematically, string theory is based on a very new — and little understood — framework for geometry that reduces to ordinary differential geometry when the curvature is asymptotically small. In the 1990’s, many interesting results were obtained ...

Spacetime in String Theory

We give a brief overview of the nature of spacetime emerging from string theory. This is radically different from the familiar spacetime of Einstein’s relativity. At a perturbative level, the spacetime metric appears as “coupling constants” in a two dimensional quantum field theory. Nonperturbatively (with certain boundary conditions), spacetime is not fundamental but must be reconstructed from...

Axions In String Theory

In the context of string theory, axions appear to provide the most plausible solution of the strong CP problem. However, as has been known for a long time, in many stringbased models, the axion coupling parameter Fa is several orders of magnitude higher than the standard cosmological bounds. We re-examine this problem in a variety of models, showing that Fa is close to the GUT scale or above in...

Fluxbranes in String Theory

A flux p-brane in D dimensions has (p+1)-dimensional Poincare invariance and a nonzero rank (D-p-1) field strength tangent to the transverse dimensions. We find a family of such solutions in string theory and M-theory and investigate their properties.
