Dualisation of the D=7 Heterotic String
نویسنده
چکیده
The dualisation and the first-order formulation of the D = 7 abelian Yang-Mills supergravity which is the low energy effective limit of the D = 7 fully Higssed heterotic string is discussed. The nonlinear coset formulation of the scalars is enlarged to include the entire bosonic sector by introducing dual fields and by constructing the Lie superalgebra which generates the dualized coset element.

The general non-split scalar coset of supergravity theories is discussed.The symmetric space sigma model is studied in two equivalent formulations and for different coset parametrizations.The dualisation and the local first order formulation is performed for the non-split scalar coset G/K when the rigid symmetry group G is a real form of a non-compact semisimple Lie group (not necessarily split...
متن کاملEleven Dimensional Origin of String/string Duality: a One Loop Test
Membrane/fivebrane duality in D = 11 implies Type IIA string/Type IIA fivebrane duality in D = 10, which in turn implies Type IIA string/heterotic string duality in D = 6. To test the conjecture, we reproduce the corrections to the 3-form field equations of the D = 10 Type IIA string (a mixture of tree-level and one-loop effects) starting from the Chern-Simons corrections to the 7-form Bianchi ...
متن کاملThe Non - Perturbative SO ( 32 ) Heterotic String
The SO(32) heterotic string can be obtained from the type IIB string by gauging a discrete symmetry that acts as (−1) FL on the perturbative string states and reverses the parity of the D-string. Consistency requires the presence of 32 NS 9-branes – the S-duals of D9-branes – which give SO(32) Chan-Paton factors to open D-strings. At finite string coupling, there are SO(32) charges tethered to ...
متن کاملString-Membrane Duality in Seven Dimensions
The conjectured equivalence of the heterotic string to a K3 compactified type IIA superstring is combined with the conjectured equivalence of the latter to a compactified 11-dimensional supermembrane to derive a string membrane duality in seven dimensions; the membrane is a soliton of the string theory and vice versa. A prediction of this duality is that the heterotic string is a K3 compactific...

We study the duality between M-theory compactified on Calabi-Yau fourfolds and the heterotic string compactified on Calabi-Yau threefolds times a circle. Our analysis is based on a comparison of the low energy effective actions in three dimensions. Non-perturbative N=1 vacua of the heterotic string in D=4 are of particular interest due to their phenomenological prospects [1]. A certain class of...
