Superspace Geometry for Supermembrane Backgrounds
We construct part of the superspace vielbein and tensor gauge field in terms of the component fields of 11-dimensional on-shell supergravity. The result can be utilized to describe supermembranes and corresponding matrix models for Dirichlet particles in nontrivial supergravity backgrounds to second order in anticommuting coordinates. We exhibit the κ-invariance of the corresponding supermembra...
متن کاملSuperspace Geometry of Fermionic Strings
We calculate the effective action in Polyakov's fermionic string theory in a manifestly supersymmetric formalism, including the effects of string boundaries. Supersymmetry causes divergence cancellations such that no Liouville interaction term is generated by renormalization of the string fields. For open surfaces, supersymmetry is spontaneously broken by the presence of the boundary, leading t...
متن کاملA Geometry for Non-Geometric String Backgrounds
A geometric string solution has background fields in overlapping coordinate patches related by diffeomorphisms and gauge transformations, while for a non-geometric background this is generalised to allow transition functions involving duality transformations. Non-geometric string backgrounds arise from T-duals and mirrors of flux compactifications, from reductions with duality twists and from a...
متن کاملMatrix model and the non - commutative geometry of the supermembrane
The Matrix model and the non-commutative geometry of the supermembrane Abstract This is a short note on the relation of the Matrix model with the non-commutative geometry of the 11-dimensional supermembrane. We put forward the idea that M-theory is described by the 't Hooft topological expansion of the Matrix model in the large N −limit where all topologies of membranes appear. This expansion c...
متن کاملThe spinorial geometry of supersymmetric IIB backgrounds
We investigate the Killing spinor equations of IIB supergravity for one Killing spinor. We show that there are three types of orbits of Spin(9, 1) in the space of Weyl spinors which give rise to Killing spinors with stability subgroups Spin(7)⋉ R , SU(4)⋉R and G2. We solve the Killing spinor equations for the Spin(7)⋉R 8 and SU(4) ⋉ R invariant spinors, give the fluxes in terms of the geometry ...
