Properties of some conformal field theories with M - theory duals
By studying classes of supersymmetric solutions of D = 11 supergravity with AdS5 factors, we determine some properties of the dual fourdimensional N = 1 superconformal field theories. For some explicit solutions we calculate the central charges and also the conformal dimensions of certain chiral primary operators arising from wrapped membranes. For the most general class of solutions we show th...
متن کاملStatistics on the (compact) Stiefel manifold: Theory and Applications
A Stiefel manifold of the compact type is often encountered in many fields of Engineering including, signal and image processing, machine learning, numerical optimization and others. The Stiefel manifold is a Riemannian homogeneous space but not a symmetric space. In previous work, researchers have defined probability distributions on symmetric spaces and performed statistical analysis of data ...
متن کاملField Theories and M Theory
5-brane configurations describing 5d field theories are promoted to an M theory description à la Witten in terms of polynomials in two complex variables. The coefficients of the polynomials are the Coulomb branch. This picture resolves apparent singularities at vertices and reveals exponentially small corrections. These corrections ask to be compared to world line instanton corrections. From a ...
متن کاملBayesian inference on the Stiefel manifold
The Stiefel manifold Vp,d is the space of all d×p orthonormal matrices, and includes the d−1 hypersphere and the space of all orthogonal matrices as special cases. It is often desirable to parametrically or nonparametrically estimate the distribution of variables taking values on this manifold. Unfortunately, the intractable normalizing constant in the likelihood makes Bayesian inference challe...
متن کاملTopological Conformal Field Theories and Gauge Theories
This paper gives a construction, using heat kernels, of differential forms on the moduli space of metrised ribbon graphs, or equivalently on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundary. The construction depends on a manifold with a bundle of Frobenius algebras, satisfying various conditions. These forms satisfy gluing conditions which mean they form an open topological conformal field th...
