Ground Ring of α-Symmetries and Sequence of RNS String Theories

نویسنده

چکیده

We construct a sequence of nilpotent BRST charges in RNS superstring theory, based on new gauge symmetries on the worldsheet, found in this paper. These new local gauge symmetries originate from the global nonlinear space-time α-symmetries, shown to form a noncommutative ground ring in this work. The important subalgebra of these symmetries is U(3)×X6, where X6 is solvable Lie algebra consisting of 6 elements with commutators reminiscent of the Virasoro type. We argue that the new BRST charges found in this work describe the kinetic terms in string field theories around curved backgrounds of the AdS × CPn-type, determined by the geometries of hidden extra dimensions induced by the global α-generators. The identification of these backgrounds is however left for the work in progress.

α-Symmetries, Coloured Dimensions and Gauge-String Correspondence

We propose a scenario of gauge-string correspondence by relating the SU(3) colour group to hidden space-time isometries originating from extra dimensions. These isometries ( α-symmetries) are the special symmetries of RNS superstring theories under global non-linear space-time transformations. The vertex operators for the octet of gluons are constructed by the procedure of “photon painting”, th...

Ground Ring of Two Dimensional String Theory

String theories with two dimensional space-time target spaces are characterized by the existence of a “ground ring” of operators of spin (0, 0). By understanding this ring, one can understand the symmetries of the theory and illuminate the relation of the critical string theory to matrix models. The symmetry groups that arise are, roughly, the area preserving diffeomorphisms of a two dimensiona...

Gauge Symmetries of the N=2 String

We study the underlying gauge symmetry algebra of the N = 2 string, which is broken down to a subalgebra in any spacetime background. For given toroidal backgrounds, the unbroken gauge symmetries (corresponding to holomorphic and antiholomorphic worldsheet currents) generate area-preserving diffeomorphism algebras of null 2-tori. A minimal Lie algebraic closure containing all the gauge symmetri...

Anomalous U(1) Gauge Symmetries and Heterotic - Type I/ii String Duality∗

Anomalous U(1) gauge symmetries can appear both in heterotic and type I string theories. In the heterotic case we find a single anomalous U(1), while in open string theories several such symmetries can appear. Nonetheless, there is a conjectured duality symmetry that might connect these two theories. We review the properties of anomalous gauge symmetries in various string theories as well as th...

Hidden symmetries of two-dimensional string effective action.

The ten dimensional heterotic string effective action with graviton, dilaton and antisymmetric tensor fields is dimensionally reduced to two spacetime dimensions. The resulting theory, with some constraints on backgrounds, admits infinite sequence of conserved nonlocal currents. It is shown that generators of the infinitesimal transformations associated with these currents satisfy Kac-Moody alg...
