A (1,2) Heterotic String with Gauge Symmetry

چکیده

We construct a (1,2) heterotic string with gauge symmetry and determine its particle spectrum. This theory has a local N=1 worldsheet supersymmetry for left movers and a local N=2 worldsheet supersymmetry for right movers and describes particles in either two or three space-time dimensions. We show that fermionizing the bosons of the compactified N=1 space leads to a particle spectrum which has nonabelian gauge symmetry. The fermionic formulation of the theory corresponds to a dimensional reduction of self dual Yang Mills. We also give a worldsheet action for the theory and calculate the one-loop path integral.

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...

Z3 orbifolds of the SO(32) heterotic string: 1-Wilson-line embeddings

We consider compactification of the SO(32) heterotic string on a 6-dimensional Z3 orbifold with one discrete Wilson line. A complete set of all possible embeddings is given. The unbroken subgroups of SO(32) are tabulated. The extended gauge symmetry SU(3), recently discussed by J. E. Kim [hep-th/0301177] for semi-realistic E8 × E8 heterotic string models, occurs for several embeddings, as well ...

Small Instantons in String Theory

A long-standing puzzle about the heterotic string has been what happens when an instanton shrinks to zero size. It is argued here that the answer at the quantum level is that an extra SU(2) gauge symmetry appears that is supported in the core of the instanton. Thus in particular the quantum heterotic string has vacua with higher rank than is possible in conformal field theory. When k instantons...
