Liouville/Toda central charges from M5-branes
We show that the central charge of the Liouville and ADE Toda theories can be reproduced by equivariantly integrating the anomaly eight-form of the corresponding six-dimensional N = (0, 2) theories, which describe the low-energy dynamics of M5-branes.
متن کاملCentral Charges in Regular Mechanics
We consider the algebra associated to a group of transformations which are symmetries of a regular mechanical system (i.e. system free of constraints). For time dependent coordinate transformations we show that a central extension may appear at the classical level which is coordinate and momentum independent. A cochain formalism naturally arises in the argument and extends the usual configurati...
متن کاملPara-Liouville/Toda central charges from M5-branes
We propose that N M5-branes, put on R/Zm with deformation parameters ǫ1,2, realize two-dimensional theory with ŜU(m)N symmetry and m-th para-WN symmetry. This includes the standard WN symmetry for m = 1 and super-Viraroro symmetry for m = N = 2. We provide a small check of this proposal by calculating the central charge of the 2d theory from the anomaly polynomial of the 6d theory. ∗on leave fr...
متن کاملHidden symmetries , central charges and all that
In this review we discuss hidden symmetries of toroidal compactifications of 11-dimensional supergravity. We recall alternative versions of this theory which exhibit traces of the hidden symmetries while still retaining the massive Kaluza– Klein states. We reconsider them in the broader perspective of M-theory which incorporates a more extended variety of BPS states. We also argue for a new geo...
متن کاملSuperparticle Models with Tensorial Central Charges
A generalization of the Ferber–Shirafuji formulation of superparticle mechanics is considered. The generalized model describes the dynamics of a superparticle in a superspace extended by tensorial central charge coordinates and commuting twistor–like spinor variables. The D = 4 model contains a continuous real parameter a ≥ 0 and at a = 0 reduces to the SU(2, 2|1) supertwistor Ferber–Shirafuji ...
