Holonomy Theory and 4-dimensional Lorentz Manifolds
This lecture describes the holonomy group for a 4-dimensional Hausdorff, connected and simply connected manifold admitting a Lorentz metric and shows, briefly, some applications to Einstein’s space-time of general relativity. 1. Holonomy Theory on 4-Dimensional Lorentz Manifolds. Let M be a 4-dimensional, smooth, Hausdorff, connected, and simply connected manifold admitting a smooth Lorentz met...
متن کاملM-Theory on Manifolds with G2 Holonomy
We study M-theory on G2 holonomy spaces that are constructed by dividing a seven-torus by some discrete symmetry group. We classify possible group elements that may be used in this construction and use them to find a set of possible orbifold groups that lead to co-dimension four singularities. We describe how to blow up such singularities, and then derive the moduli Kähler potential for M-theor...
متن کاملA 2d Inspired 4d Theory of Gravity
Coadjoint orbits of the Virasoro and Kac-Moody algebras provide geometric actions for matter coupled to gravity and gauge fields in two dimensions. However, the Gauss' law constraints that arise from these actions are not necessarily endemic to two-dimensional topologies. Indeed the constraints associated with Yang-Mills naturally arise from the coadjoint orbit construction of the WZW model. On...
متن کاملA rudimentary theory of topological 4D gravity
A theory of topological gravity is a homotopy-theoretic representation of the Segal-Tillmann topologification of a two-category with cobordisms as morphisms. This note describes some relatively accessible examples of such a thing, suggested by the wall-crossing formulas of Donaldson theory. 1 Gravity categories A cobordism category has manifolds as objects, and cobordisms as morphisms. Such cat...
متن کاملString and M-theory Deformations of Manifolds with Special Holonomy
The R-type corrections to ten and eleven dimensional supergravity required by string and M-theory imply corrections to supersymmetric supergravity compactifications on manifolds of special holonomy, which deform the metric away from special holonomy. Nevertheless, in many such cases, including Calabi-Yau compactifications of string theory and G2-compactifications of M-theory, it has been shown ...
