Ramond-Ramond Field Transformation
نویسنده
چکیده
We find that the mixture of Ramond-Ramond fields and Neveu-Schwarz two form are transformed as Majorana spinors under the T-duality group O(d, d). The Ramond-Ramond field transformation under the group O(d, d) is realized in a simple form by using the spinor representation. The Ramond-Ramond field transformation rule obtained by Bergshoeff et al. is shown as a specific simple example. We also give some explicit examples of the spinor representation.

T-duality in Ramond-Ramond backgrounds
Target space duality is a symmetry of string theory that maps a string theory in a background to a dual string theory in a dual background. For reviews see [1][2]. The map between T-dual backgrounds was derived in a world-sheet path integral formalism for Neveu-Schwarz NeveuSchwarz fields in [3]. For Ramond-Ramond backgrounds in type II, various derivations have appeared in the literature: the ...
متن کاملSupersymmetry Algebra of the Superstring
The free action for the massless sector of the Type II superstring was recently constructed using closed RNS superstring field theory. The supersymmetry transformations of this action are shown to satisfy an N=2 D=10 SUSY algebra with Ramond-Ramond
متن کاملRamond-ramond Fields, Fractional Branes and Orbifold Differential K-theory
We study D-branes and Ramond-Ramond fields on global orbifolds of Type II string theory with vanishing H-flux using methods of equivariant K-theory and K-homology. We illustrate how Bredon equivariant cohomology naturally realizes stringy orbifold cohomology. We emphasize its role as the correct cohomological tool which captures known features of the low-energy effective field theory, and which...
متن کاملRandall-Sundrum with Kalb-Ramond field: return of the hierarchy problem?
We show that when the antisymmetric Kalb-Ramond field is included in the Randall-Sundrum scenario, although the hierarchy problem can be solved, it requires an extreme fine tuning of the Kalb-Ramond field (about 1 part in 10). We interpret this as the return of the problem in disguise. Further, we show that the Kalb-Ramond field induces a small negative cosmological constant on the visible brane.
