Quantum Field Theories on Null Surfaces
We study the behaviour of quantum field theories defined on a surface S as it tends to a null surface Sn. In the case of a real, free scalar field theory the above limiting procedure reduces the system to one with a finite number of degrees of freedom. This system is shown to admit a one parameter family of inequivalent quantizations. A duality symmetry present in the model can be used to remov...
متن کاملSuperconformal Field Theories for Compact G2 Manifolds
We present the construction of exactly solvable superconformal field theories describing Type II string models compactified on compact G2 manifolds. These models are defined by anti-holomorphic quotients of the form (CY×S)/ZZ2, where we realize the Calabi-Yau as a Gepner model. In the superconformal field theory the ZZ2 acts as charge conjugation implying that the representation theory of a W(2...
متن کاملEinstein Manifolds and Conformal Field Theories
In light of the AdS/CFT correspondence, it is natural to try to define a conformal field theory in a large N , strong coupling limit via a supergravity compactification on the product of an Einstein manifold and anti-de Sitter space. We consider the fivedimensional manifolds T pq which are coset spaces (SU(2)×SU(2))/U(1). The central charge and a part of the chiral spectrum are calculated, resp...
متن کاملThe Spectrum Of Topological Quantum Field Theories On N - Manifolds
The topological particle is first quantized and its spectrum is found to be given by the de Rahm cohomogy ring of the target manifold. Morse theoretic arguments are used to show how this topological spectrum depends on the gauge fixing. A supermanifold formalism is introduced which leads to the generalized Donaldson invariants. It is found that the BRST symmetry cannot be spontaneously or dynam...
متن کاملQuantum Field Theories on Manifolds with Curved Boundaries: Scalar Fields
A framework allowing for perturbative calculations to be carried out for quantum field theories with arbitrary smoothly curved boundaries is described. It is based on an expansion of the Green function for second order differential operators valid in the neighbourhood of the boundary and which is obtained from a corresponding expansion of of the associated heat kernel derived earlier for arbitr...
