Algebraic and Geometric Structures in String Backgrounds
We give a brief introduction to the study of the algebraic structures – and their geometrical interpretations – which arise in the BRST construction of a conformal string background. Starting from the chiral algebra A of a string background, we consider a number of elementary but universal operations on the chiral algebra. From these operations we deduce a certain fundamental odd Poisson struct...
متن کاملGeneralised T-Duality and Non-Geometric Backgrounds
We undertake a systematic analysis of non-geometric backgrounds in string theory by seeking stringy liftings of a class of gauged supergravity theories. In addition to conventional flux compactifications and non-geometric T-folds with T-duality transition functions, we find a new class of non-geometric backgrounds with non-trivial dependence on the dual coordinates that are conjugate to the str...
متن کاملNon-geometric String Backgrounds and Worldsheet Algebras
Using worldsheet Hamiltonian methods we derive a charge algebra which generalizes the Courant bracket to include fluxes of general index type. This is achieved by coupling a bi-vector to the Hamiltonian of the Polyakov model. This bracket is useful to describe so-called non-geometric backgrounds and has been discussed in the mathematics literature by Dmitry Roytenberg.
متن کاملAlmost Complex Structures and Geometric Quantization
We study two quantization schemes for compact symplectic manifolds with almost complex structures. The first of these is the Spinc quantization. We prove the analog of Kodaira vanishing for the Spinc Dirac operator, which shows that the index space of this operator provides an honest (not virtual) vector space semiclassically. We also introduce a new quantization scheme, based on a rescaled Lap...
متن کاملG-Structures, Fluxes and Calibrations in M-Theory
We study the most general supersymmetric warped M-theory backgrounds with non-trivial G-flux of the type R1,2 × M8 and AdS3 × M8. We give a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for preservation of supersymmetry which are phrased in terms of G-structures and their intrinsic torsion. These equations may be interpreted as calibration conditions for a static “dyonic” M-brane, that is, an M5-b...
