Duality, marginal perturbations, and gauging.
We study duality transformations for two-dimensional sigma models with abelian chiral isometries and prove that generic such transformations are equivalent to integrated marginal perturbations by bilinears in the chiral currents, thus confirming a recent conjecture by Hassan and Sen formulated in the context of Wess-Zumino-Witten models. Specific duality transformations instead give rise to cos...
متن کاملDuality, gauging and superHiggs effect in string and M-theory
We consider no-scale extended supergravity models as they arise from string and M-theory compactifications in presence of fluxes. The special role of gauging axion symmetries for the Higgs and superHiggs mechanism is outlined. Based on plenary talks presented at the String theory conferences in Hongzhou and Beijing, August 2002, China.
متن کاملWolfe duality and Mond–Weir duality via perturbations
Considering a general optimization problem, we attach to it by means of perturbation theory two dual problems having in the constraints a subdifferential inclusion relation. When the primal problem and the perturbation function are particularized different new dual problems are obtained. In the special case of a constrained optimization problem, the classical Wolfe and Mond–Weir duals, respecti...
متن کاملS-duality invariant perturbations in string cosmology
We investigate the generation of curvature and isocurvature (dilaton, moduli and axion) perturbations in a general class of axion–dilaton–moduli models, including the pre–big bang scenario. Allowing for an arbitrary coupling constant λ between the dilaton field and the axion field, we exploit the SL(2,R) symmetry of the theory to obtain the spectral indices of the field perturbations in a pre–b...
متن کاملMarginal extended perturbations in two dimensions and gap – exponent relations
The most general form of a marginal extended perturbation in a two– dimensional system is deduced from scaling considerations. It includes as particular cases extended perturbations decaying either from a surface, a line or a point for which exact results have been previously obtained. The first–order corrections to the local exponents, which are functions of the amplitude of the defect, are de...
