The Existence of Supersymmetric String Theory with Torsion
In their proposed compactification of superstring [4], Candelas, Horowitz, Strominger and Witten took the matric product of a maximal symmetric four dimensional spacetime M with a six dimensional Calabi-Yau vacua X as the ten dimensional spacetime; they identified the Yang-Mills connection with the SU(3) connection of the Calabi-Yau metric and set the dilaton to be a constant. To make this theo...
متن کاملNon-Supersymmetric String Theory
A class of non-supersymmetric string backgrounds can be constructed using twists that involve space-time fermion parity. We propose a non-perturbative definition of string theory in these backgrounds via gauge theories with supersymmetry softly broken by twisted boundary conditions. The perturbative string spectrum is reproduced, and qualitative effects of the interactions are discussed. Along ...
متن کاملCosmic String in the Supersymmetric CSKR Theory
We study a cosmic string solution of an N=1-supersymmetric version of the Cremmer-Scherk-Kalb-Ramond (CSKR) Lagrangian coupled to a vector superfield by means of a topological mass term. The 2-form gauge potential is proposed to couple non-minimally to matter, here described by a chiral scalar superfield. The important outcome is that supersymmetry is kept exact both in the core and in the exte...
متن کاملClassification of supersymmetric backgrounds of string theory
We review the recent progress made towards the classification of supersymmetric solutions in ten and eleven dimensions with emphasis on those of IIB supergravity. In particular, the spinorial geometry method is outlined and adapted to nearly maximally supersymmetric backgrounds. We then demonstrate its effectiveness by classifying the maximally supersymmetric IIB G-backgrounds and by showing th...
متن کاملDiscrete Torsion in Perturbative Heterotic String Theory
In this paper we analyze discrete torsion in perturbative heterotic string theory. In previous work we have given a purely mathematical explanation of discrete torsion as the choice of orbifold group action on a B field, in the case that dH = 0; in this paper we perform the analogous calculations in heterotic strings where dH = 0.
