A note on c = 1 Virasoro boundary states and asymmetric shift orbifolds
We comment on the conformal boundary states of the c = 1 free boson theory on a circle which do not preserve the U(1) symmetry. We construct these Virasoro boundary states at a generic radius by a simple asymmetric shift orbifold acting on the fundamental boundary states at the self-dual radius. We further calculate the boundary entropy and find that the Virasoro boundary states at irrational r...

متن کاملBoundary States and Non-abelian Orbifolds *
In this note the open string orbifold partition function is analyzed carefully in a way to reveal the group-theoretical aspects. For the simple cases of ADE orbifolds with regular Chan-Paton action a prescription for consistent boundary states is given. In the process of outlining how they encode McKay correspondence, we argue that this results from a non-trivial conspiracy of numerical factors...
متن کاملDiscrete Torsion and Shift Orbifolds
In this paper we make two observations related to discrete torsion. First, we observe that an old obscure degree of freedom (momentum/translation shifts) in (symmetric) string orbifolds is related to discrete torsion. We point out how our previous derivation of discrete torsion from orbifold group actions on B fields includes these momentum lattice shift phases, and discuss how they are realize...
متن کاملAsymmetric Orbifolds and Wilson Lines
We generalize the rules for the free fermionic string construction to include other asymmetric orbifolds. Examples are given to illustrate the use of these rules. Typeset using REVTEX
