Orientifolds of Matrix theory and Noncommutative Geometry
نویسنده
چکیده
We study explicit solutions for orientifolds of Matrix theory compactified on noncommutative torus. As quotients of torus, cylinder, Klein bottle and Möbius strip are applicable as orientifolds. We calculate the solutions using Connes, Douglas and Schwarz’s projective module solution, and investigate twisted gauge bundle on quotient spaces as well. They are Yang-Mills theory on noncommutative torus with proper boundary conditions which define the geometry of the dual space. email address: [email protected]

Towards 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...
متن کاملNoncommutative Geometry and Matrix Theory: Compactification on Tori
We study toroidal compactification of Matrix theory, using ideas and results of noncommutative geometry. We generalize this to compactification on the noncommutative torus, explain the classification of these backgrounds, and argue that they correspond in supergravity to tori with constant background three-form tensor field. The paper includes an introduction for mathematicians to the IKKT form...

متن کاملPermutation Orientifolds
We consider orientifold actions involving the permutation of two identical factor theories. The corresponding crosscap states are constructed in rational conformal field theory. We study group manifolds, in particular the examples SU(2)×SU(2) and U(1)×U(1) in detail, comparing conformal field theory results with geometry. We then consider orientifolds of tensor products of N = 2 minimal models,...
