A Geometry for Non-Geometric String Backgrounds
A geometric string solution has background fields in overlapping coordinate patches related by diffeomorphisms and gauge transformations, while for a non-geometric background this is generalised to allow transition functions involving duality transformations. Non-geometric string backgrounds arise from T-duals and mirrors of flux compactifications, from reductions with duality twists and from a...
متن کاملThe Spinorial Geometry of Supersymmetric Heterotic String Backgrounds
We determine the geometry of supersymmetric heterotic string backgrounds for which all parallel spinors with respect to the connection ∇̂ with torsion H , the NS⊗NS three-form field strength, are Killing. We find that there are two classes of such backgrounds, the null and the timelike. The Killing spinors of the null backgrounds have stability subgroups K ⋉R 8 in Spin(9, 1), for K = Spin(7), SU...
متن کاملCanonical Quantization of Open String and Noncommutative Geometry
We perform canonical quantization of open strings in the D-brane background with a B-field. Treating the mixed boundary condition as a primary constraint, we get a set of secondary constraints. Then these constraints are shown to be equivalent to orbifold conditions to be imposed on normal string modes. These orbifold conditions are a generalization of the familiar orbifold conditions which ari...
متن کاملHomogeneous Conformal String Backgrounds
We present exact solutions characterised by Bianchi-type I, II, III, V, VI 0 , VI h four-dimensional metric, space-independent dilaton, and vanishing torsion background, for the low energy string eeective action with zero central charge deecit. We show that, in such a context, curvature singularities cannot be avoided, except for the trivial case of at spacetime and constant dilaton. We also pr...
متن کاملCosmological String Backgrounds
The propagation of strings in cosmological space-time backgrounds is reviewed. We show the relation of a special class of cosmological backgrounds to exact conformal field theory. Particular emphasis is put on the singularity structure of the cosmological space-time and on the discrete duality symmetries of the string background.
