Ω-Background and the Nekrasov Partition Function
In this talk we’ll aim to make sense of the Nekrasov partition function (as introduced in Nekrasov’s ICM address [Nek03]) as the partition function in a twisted deformed N = 2 gauge theory. While making the deformation is unnecessary – without it we’re just talking about the partition function in Donaldson-Witten theory – deforming the theory eliminates IR divergences, allowing a direct mathema...
متن کاملAspects of Non-perturbative String Theory
Preface In my thesis work I have mainly considered two-dimensional gravity and string theory, treated with matrix models and with two-dimensional topological quantum eld theory. The main emphasis has been laid on the case of pure gravity, where calculations are less involved, though still voluminous. When the string moves through the embedding space it spans out a two-dimensional surface, the s...
متن کاملFivebranes, Membranes and Non-perturbative String Theory
Non-perturbative instanton corrections to the moduli space geometry of type IIA string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau space are derived and found to contain order e−1/gs contributions, where gs is the string coupling. The computation reduces to a weighted sum of supersymmetric extremal maps of strings, membranes and fivebranes into the Calabi-Yau space, all three of which enter on equal fo...
متن کاملString Field Theory and Non-perturbative Effects
We describe a real-time classical solution of c = 1 string field theory written in terms of the phase space density, u(p, q, t), of the equivalent fermion theory. The solution corresponds to tunnelling of a single fermion above the filled fermi sea and leads to amplitudes that go as exp(−C/gstr). We discuss how one can use this technique to describe non-perturbative effects in the Marinari-Pari...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Non-perturbative String Theory
In this review I discuss some basic aspects of non-perturbative string theory. The topics include test of duality symmetries based on the analysis of the low energy effective action and the spectrum of BPS states, relationship between different duality symmetries, an introduction to Mand F-theories, black hole entropy in string theory, and Matrix theory. Based on lectures given at the Isaac New...
