Minimal String Theory is Logarithmic
We study the simplest examples of minimal string theory whose worldsheet description is the unitary (p, q) minimal model coupled to twodimensional gravity (Liouville field theory). In the Liouville sector, we show that four-point correlation functions of ‘tachyons’ exhibit logarithmic singularities, and that the theory turns out to be logarithmic. The relation with Zamolodchikov’s logarithmic d...
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY
The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...
متن کاملBoundary Ground Ring in Minimal String Theory
We obtain relations among boundary states in bosonic minimal open string theory using the boundary ground ring. We also obtain a difference equation that boundary correlators must satisfy. email: [email protected], Address after Sep 11, 2005: School of Natural Sciences, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA email: [email protected]
متن کاملWhat Is String Theory ?
Lectures presented at the 1994 Les Houches Summer School " Fluctuating Geome-tries in Statistical Mechanics and Field Theory. " The first part is an introduction to conformal field theory and string perturbation theory. The second part deals with the search for a deeper answer to the question posed in the title.
متن کاملWhat is String Theory?
We describe, for a general audience, the current state of string theory. We explain that nature is almost certainly not described by string theory as we know it, but that string theory does show us that quantum mechanics and gravity can coexist, and points to the possible theory of quantum gravity which describes the world around us. Directions for research, both on the nature of this theory an...
