چکیده

In this doctoral thesis we study zero-mode spectra of Matrix theory and eleven-dimensional supergravity on the plane-wave background. This background is obtained via the Penrose limit of AdS4 × S7 and AdS7 × S4. The plane-wave background is a maximally supersymmetric spacetime supported by non-vanishing constant four-form flux in eleven-dimensional spacetime. First, we discuss the Matrix theory on the plane-wave background suggested by Berenstein, Maldacena and Nastase. We construct the Hamiltonian, 32 supercharges and their commutation relations. We discuss a spectrum of one specific supermultiplet which represents the center of mass degrees of freedom of N D0-branes. This supermultiplet would also represent a superparticle of the eleven-dimensional supergravity in the large-N limit. Second, we study the linearized supergravity on the plane-wave background in eleven dimensions. Fixing the bosonic and fermionic fields in the light-cone gauge, we obtain the spectrum of physical modes. We obtain the fact that the energies of the states in Matrix theory completely correspond to those of fields in supergravity. Thus, we find that the Matrix theory on the plane-wave background contains the zero-mode spectrum of the eleven-dimensional supergravity completely. Through this result, we can argue the Matrix theory on the plane-wave as a candidate of quantum extension of eleven-dimensional supergravity, or as a candidate which describes M-theory.

Spectrum of Eleven-dimensional Supergravity on a PP-wave Background

We calculate the spectrum of the linearized supergravity around the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave background in eleven dimensions. The resulting spectrum agrees with that of zero-mode Hamiltonian of a supermembrane theory on the pp-wave background. We also discuss the connection with the Kaluza-Klein zero modes of AdS4 × S background.

Variational Principle and Plane Wave Propagation in Thermoelastic Medium with Double Porosity Under Lord-Shulman Theory

The present study is concerned with the variational principle and plane wave propagation in double porous thermoelastic infinite medium. Lord-Shulman theory [2] of thermoelasticity with one relaxation time has been used to investigate the problem. It is found that for two dimensional model, there exists four coupled longitudinal waves namely longitudinal wave (P), longitudinal thermal wave (T),...

مقایسه روش‌های تحلیلی تجزیه امواج به منظور محاسبه ضریب انعکاس موج

Calculation of the reflected waves against obstacles is a prominent step in designing coastal structures. In addition, a complex process occurs during wave collision with beaches or breakwaters. These processes cause wave characteristics to be (energy dissipation, reflected wave, etc.). The new wave characteristics are dependent on reflected wave height straightly which are not measureable. In ...

Tachyon Condensation and Non-BPS D-branes in a Ramond-Ramond Plane Wave Background

We consider string theory in maximally supersymmetric type IIB plane wave background with constant five form Ramond-Ramond flux (RR plane wave). It is argued that there exists a universal sector of string configurations independent of the null coordinate x such that the space-time action evaluated at such a configuration is same in the RR plane wave and flat background. By naturally assuming it...

Wave Propagation in Rectangular Nanoplates Based on a New Strain Gradient Elasticity Theory with Considering in-Plane Magnetic Field

In this paper, on the basis of a new strain gradient elasticity theory, wave propagation in rectangular nanoplates by considering in-plane magnetic field is studied. This strain gradient theory has two gradient parameters and has the ability to compare with the nonlocal elasticity theory. From the best knowledge of author, it is the first time that this theory is used for investigating wave pro...
