Compactification of M(atrix) theory on noncommutative toroidal orbifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
It was shown by A. Connes, M. Douglas and A. Schwarz that noncommutative tori arise naturally in consideration of toroidal compactifications of M(atrix) theory. A similar analysis of toroidal Z2 orbifolds leads to the algebra Bθ that can be defined as a crossed product of noncommutative torus and the group Z2 . Our paper is devoted to the study of projective modules over Bθ ( Z2-equivariant projective modules over a noncommutative torus). We analyze the Morita equivalence (duality) for Bθ algebras working out the two-dimensional case in detail.

Mixed Branes and M(atrix) Theory on Noncommutative Torus
We derive the noncommutative torus compactification of M(atrix) theory directly from the string theory by imposing mixed boundary conditions on the membranes. The relation of various dualities in string theory and M(atrix) theory compactification on the noncommutative torus are studied.
متن کاملTowards a Noncommutative Geometric Approach to Matrix Compactification
In this paper we study generic M(atrix) theory compactifications that are specified by a set of quotient conditions. A procedure is proposed, which both associates an algebra to each compactification and leads deductively to general solutions for the matrix variables. The notion of noncommutative geometry on the dual space is central to this construction. As examples we apply this procedure to ...

Noncommutative geometry is based on an idea that an associative algebra can be regarded as " an algebra of functions on a noncommutative space ". The major contribution to noncommutative geometry was made by A. Connes, who, in particular, analyzed Yang-Mills theories on noncommutative spaces, using important notions that were introduced in his papers (connection, Chern character, etc). It was f...
