Heterotic Matrix String Theory

چکیده

M-theory suggests the largeN limit of the matrix description of a collection of N Type IA D-particles should provide a nonperturbative formulation of heterotic string theory. In this paper states in the matrix theory corresponding to fundamental heterotic strings are identified, and their interactions are studied. Comments are made about analogous states in Type IIA string theory, which correspond to bound states of D-particles and D-eightbranes.

Heterotic Matrix String Theory and Riemann Surfaces

We extend the results found for Matrix String Theory to Heterotic Matrix String Theory, i.e. to a 2d O(N) SYM theory with chiral (anomaly free) matter and N = (8, 0) supersymmetry. We write down the instanton equations for this theory and solve them explicitly. The solutions are characterized by branched coverings of the basis cylinder, i.e. by compact Riemann surfaces with punctures. We show t...

String Dualities from Matrix Theory

We suggest that the (2,0) six dimensional field theory compactified on S × K3 is the Matrix model description of both M-theory on K3 and the Heterotic string on T . This proposal is different from existing proposals for the Heterotic theory. Different limits of the base space geometry give the different space-time interpretations, making Mtheory/Heterotic duality manifest. We also present parti...

Localized modes at a D-brane–O-plane intersection and heterotic Alice strings

We study a system of Nc D3-branes intersecting D7-branes and O7-planes in 1 + 1-dimensions. We use anomaly cancellation and string dualities to argue that there must be chiral fermion zero-modes on the D3-branes which are localized near the O7planes. Away from the orientifold limit we verify this by using index theory as well as explicit construction of the zero-modes. This system is related to...

A Matrix Model for Heterotic Spin(32)/Z2 and Type I String Theory

We consider Heterotic string theories in the DLCQ. We derive that the matrix model of the Spin(32)/Z2 Heterotic theory is the theory living on N D-strings in type I wound on a circle with no Spin(32)/Z2 Wilson line on the circle. This is an O(N) gauge theory. We rederive the matrix model for the E8 × E8 Heterotic string theory, explicitly taking care of the Wilson line around the lightlike circ...

Amplitude relations in heterotic string theory and Einstein-Yang-Mills

We present all-multiplicity evidence that the tree-level S-matrix of gluons and gravitons in heterotic string theory can be reduced to color-ordered single-trace amplitudes of the gauge multiplet. Explicit amplitude relations are derived for up to three gravitons, up to two color traces and an arbitrary number of gluons in each case. The results are valid to all orders in the inverse string ten...
