Boundary States and Non-abelian Orbifolds *
نویسنده
چکیده
In this note the open string orbifold partition function is analyzed carefully in a way to reveal the group-theoretical aspects. For the simple cases of ADE orbifolds with regular Chan-Paton action a prescription for consistent boundary states is given. In the process of outlining how they encode McKay correspondence, we argue that this results from a non-trivial conspiracy of numerical factors in the string amplitudes.

Heterotic orbifold models on Lie lattice with discrete torsion
We provide a new class of ZN × ZM heterotic orbifolds on non-factorisable tori, whose boundary conditions are defined by Lie lattices. Generally, point groups of these orbifolds are generated by Weyl reflections and outer automorphisms of the lattices. We classify abelian orbifolds with and without discrete torsion. Then we find that some of these models have smaller Euler numbers than those of...
متن کاملBethe Ansatz Equations For General Orbifolds of N =4 SYM
We consider the Bethe Ansatz Equations for orbifolds of N =4 SYM w.r.t. an arbitrary discrete group. Techniques used for the Abelian orbifolds can be extended to the generic non-Abelian case with minor modifications. We show how to make a transition between the different notations in the quiver gauge theory.
متن کاملTraces on orbifolds: Anomalies and one–loop amplitudes
In the recent literature one can find calculations of various one–loop amplitudes, like anomalies, tadpoles and vacuum energies, on specific types of orbifolds, like S/Z2. This work aims to give a general description of such one–loop computations for a large class of orbifold models. In order to achieve a high degree of generality, we formulate these calculations as evaluations of traces of ope...
متن کاملNon-abelian convexity by symplectic cuts dg-ga/9603015
In this paper we extend the results of Kirwan et alii on convexity properties of the moment map for Hamiltonian group actions, and on the connectedness of the fibers of the moment map, to the case of non-compact orbifolds. Our motivation is twofold. First, the category of orbifolds is important in symplectic geometry because, generically, the symplectic quotient of a symplectic manifold is an o...
متن کاملBulk and Brane Anomalies In Six Dimensions
We study anomalies of six-dimensional gauge theories compactified on orbifolds. In addition to the known bulk anomalies, brane anomalies appear on orbifold fixpoints in the case of chiral boundary conditions. At a fixpoint, where the bulk gauge group G is broken to a subgroup H, the non-abelian G-anomaly in the bulk reduces to a H-anomaly which depends in a simple manner on the chiral boundary ...
