Axial-Vector Duality as a Mirror Symmetry
We study N = 2 supersymmetric SU(2)/U(1) and SL(2, R)/U(1) gauged WessZumino-Witten models. It is shown that the vector gauged model is transformed to the axial gauged model by a mirror transformation. Therefore the vector gauged model and the axial gauged model are equivalent as N = (2, 2) superconformal field theories. In the SL(2, R)/U(1) model, it is known that axial-vector duality relates ...
متن کاملAxial-Vector Duality as a Gauge Symmetry and Topology Change in String Theory
Lines generated by marginal deformations of WZW models are considered. The Weyl symmetry at the WZW point implies the existence of a duality symmetry on such lines. The duality is interpreted as a broken gauge symmetry in string theory. It is shown that at the two end points the axial and vector cosets are obtained. This shows that the axial and vector cosets are equivalent CFTs both in the com...
متن کاملMirror Symmetry, Kobayashi's Duality, and Saito's Duality
M. Kobayashi introduced a notion of duality of weight systems. We tone this notion slightly down to a notion called coupling. We show that coupling induces a relation between the reduced zeta functions of the monodromy operators of the corresponding singularities generalizing an observation of K. Saito concerning Arnold's strange duality. We show that the weight systems of the mirror symmetric ...
متن کاملCalabi–Yau mirror symmetry as a gauge theory duality
Using brane set-ups we construct dual gauge theories in two dimensions with N = (2, 2) supersymmetry. Two different dualities are realized. One is basically a consequence of three-dimensional mirror symmetry. The nonlinear sigma model with a Calabi–Yau target space on the Higgs branch of the gauge theory is mapped into an equivalent non-linear sigma model on the Coulomb branch on the dual, real...
متن کاملMirror Symmetry and Strange Duality
1. Mirror symmetry Superstring theory and conformal eld theory has developed and was connected with algebraic geometry in the late 80's. The mirror symmetry, which implies a kind of symmetry of moduli space of Calabi-Yau varieties, is one of the most striking blows from superconformal eld theory. Since there are numerous papers available in this subject now, we will just follow the story and re...
