چکیده

We discuss aspects of holography in the AdS3×S near string geometry of a collection of straight fundamental heterotic strings. We use anomalies and symmetries to determine general features of the dual CFT. The symmetries suggest the appearance of nonlinear superconformal algebras, and we show how these arise in the framework of holographic renormalization methods. The nonlinear algebras imply intricate formulas for the central charge, and we show that in the bulk these correspond to an infinite series of quantum gravity corrections. We also makes some comments on the worldsheet σ-model for strings on AdS3 × S, which is the holographic dual geometry of parallel heterotic strings in five dimensions.

Nonlinear Realizations of Superconformal and W Algebras as Embeddings of Strings

We propose a simple method for constructing representations of (super)conformal and nonlinear W -type algebras in terms of their subalgebras and corresponding Nambu-Goldstone fields. We apply it to N = 2 and N = 1 superconformal algebras and describe in this way various embeddings of strings and superstrings for which these algebras and their subalgebras define world-sheet symmetries. Besides r...

Seven Sphere and the Exceptional Nonlinear Superconformal Algebras

The realizations of the exceptional non-linear (quadratically generated, or W type) N = 8 and N = 7 superconformal algebras with Spin(7) and G2 affine symmetry currents are reviewed. Both the N = 8 and N = 7 algebras admit unitary realizations in terms of a single boson and free fermions in 8 of Spin(7) and 7 of G2, with the central charges c8 = 26/5 and c7 = 5, respectively. They can also be r...

CONTINUITY IN FUNDAMENTAL LOCALLY MULTIPLICATIVE TOPOLOGICAL ALGEBRAS

Abstract. In this paper, we first derive specific results concerning the continuity and upper semi-continuity of the spectral radius and spectrum functions on fundamental locally multiplicative topological algebras. We continue our investigation by further determining the automatic continuity of linear mappings and homomorphisms in these algebras.

Real Forms of Nonlinear Superconformal and Quasi-superconformal Algebras and Their Unified Realization

We give a complete classification of the real forms of simple nonlinear superconformal algebras (SCA) and quasi-superconformal algebras (QSCA) and present a unified realization of these algebras with simple symmetry groups. This classification is achieved by establishing a correspondence between simple nonlinear QSCA’s and SCA’s and quaternionic and superquaternionic symmetric spaces of simple ...

Seven–sphere and the Exceptional N=7 and N=8 Superconformal Algebras

We study realizations of the exceptional non-linear (quadratically generated, or W type) N = 8 and N = 7 superconformal algebras with Spin(7) and G2 affine symmetry currents, respectively. Both the N = 8 and N = 7 algebras admit unitary highestweight representations in terms of a single boson and free fermions in 8 of Spin(7) and 7 of G2, with the central charges c8 = 26/5 and c7 = 5, respectiv...
