چکیده

This is the second in a series of papers which consider the orbifolds of permutation-type as candidates for new physical string systems at higher central charge. In the first paper, I worked out the extended actions of the twisted sectors of those orbifolds – which exhibit new permutation-twisted world-sheet gravities and correspondingly extended diffeomorphism groups. In this paper I begin the study of these systems as operator string theories, limiting the discussion for simplicity to the strings with ĉ = 52 matter (which are those governed by Z2-twisted permutation gravity). In particular, I present here a construction of the twisted reparametrization ghosts and new twisted BRST systems of all ĉ = 52 strings. The twisted BRST systems also imply new extended physical state conditions, whose analysis for individual ĉ = 52 strings is deferred to the next paper of the series. [email protected]

The Orbifolds of Permutation-type as Physical String Systems at Multiples of C = 26 v. Cyclic Permutation Orbifolds

I consider the Z λ , λ prime free-bosonic permutation orbifolds as interacting physical string systems atˆc = 26λ. As a first step, I introduce twisted tree diagrams which confirm at the interacting level that the physical spectrum of each twisted sector is equivalent to that of an ordinary c = 26 closed string. The untwisted sectors are surprisingly more difficult to understand, and there are ...

Twisted World-Sheet Gravities

This is the first in a series of papers in which I investigate the orbifolds of permutation-type as candidates for new physical string systems at multiples of critical closed-string central charges. Examples include the bosonic orientation orbifolds, the bosonic permutation orbifolds and others, as well as superstring extensions. In this paper I use the extended (twisted) Virasoro algebras of t...

Orientation Orbifolds Include Orientifolds

In this fourth paper of the series, I clarify the somewhat mysterious relation between the large class of orientation orbifolds (with twisted open-string CFT’s at ĉ = 52) and orientifolds (with untwisted open strings at c = 26), both of which have been associated to division by world-sheet orientation-reversing automorphisms. In particular – following a spectral clue in the previous paper – I s...

On the Brst Operator Structure of the N = 2 String

The BRST operator cohomology of N = 2 2d supergravity coupled to matter is presented. Descent equations for primary su-perfields of the matter sector are derived. We find one copy of the cohomology at ghost number one, two independent copies at ghost number two, and conjecture that there is a copy at ghost number three. The N = 2 string has a twisted N = 4 super-conformal symmetry generated by ...

N = 2 Strings on Orbifolds

We study closed N = 2 strings on orbifolds of the form T /Z2 and C /Z2. We compute the torus partition function and prove its modular invariance. We analyse the BRST cohomology of the theory, construct the vertex operators, and compute three and four point amplitudes of twisted and untwisted states. We introduce a background of D-branes, and compute twist states correlators.
