Form-field Gauge Symmetry in M–theory
We show how to cast an interacting system of M–branes into manifestly gaugeinvariant form using an arrangement of higher-dimensional Dirac surfaces. Classical M– theory has a cohomologically nontrivial and noncommutative set of gauge symmetries when written using a “doubled” formalism containing 3-form and 6-form gauge fields. We show how the arrangement of Dirac surfaces allows an integral sub...
متن کاملEnhanced Gauge Symmetry in M(atrix) Theory
We discuss the origin of enhanced gauge symmetry in ALE (and K3) compactification of M theory, either defined as the strong coupling limit of the type IIa superstring, or as defined by Banks et al. In the D-brane formalism, wrapped membranes are D0 branes with twisted string boundary conditions, and appear on the same footing with the Kaluza-Klein excitations of the gauge bosons. In M(atrix) th...
متن کاملEnhanced Gauge Symmetry in M-theory
In this article we examine some points in the moduli space of M-Theory at which there arise enhanced gauge symmetries. In particular, we examine the “trivial” points of enhanced gauge symmetry in the moduli space of M-Theory on S × S1/Z2 as well as the points of enhanced gauge symmetry in the moduli space of M-Theory on K3 and those in the moduli space of M-Theory on T 5/Z2 × S. Also, we employ...
متن کاملGauge Symmetry and Localized Gravity in M Theory
We discuss the possibility of having gravity “localized” in dimension d in a system where gauge bosons propagate in dimension d+1. In such a circumstance—depending on the rate of falloff of the field strengths in d dimensions—one might expect the gauge symmetry in d+1 dimensions to behave like a global symmetry in d dimensions, despite the presence of gravity. Naive extrapolation of warped long...
متن کاملMass Matrices in Gauge Field Theory of Horizontal Symmetry
We investigate Dirac mass matrices derived in the gauge field theory of a horizontal symmetry generated by a central extension of the Pauli algebra. Through numerical analyses of the observed data of the charged fermion masses and the flavor mixing matrix of quarks, values of free parameters in the mass matrices are determined and several empirical relations are found among the Yukawa coupling ...
