Duality on Higher Order U(1) Bundles
نویسنده
چکیده
A new global approach in the study of duality transformations is introduced. The geometrical structure of complex line bundles is generalized to higher order U(1) bundles which are classified by quantized charges and duality maps are formulated over these structures. Quantum equivalence is shown between dual theories. A global constraint is proven to be needed to achieve well defined bundles. These global structures are used to refine the proof of the duality equivalence between d=11 supermembrane and d=10 IIA Dirichlet supermembrane, giving a complete topological interpretation to their quantized charges.

Degeneration of the Strange Duality Map for Symplectic Bundles
Global sections of the line bundles on a moduli space of vector bundles (or, more generally, principal G-bundles) are called generalized theta functions. The dimension of the vector spaces of generalized theta functions is given by the celebrated Verlinde formula. If you compute several Verlinde numbers, you will find that some of them coincide unexpectedly. Behind the coincidence, there is oft...
متن کاملExtended higher cup-product Chern-Simons theories
It is well known that the proper action functional of (4k+ 3)-dimensional U(1)-Chern-Simons theory including the instanton sectors is given on gauge equivalence classes of fields by the fiber integration of the cup product square of classes in degree-(2k + 2) differential cohomology. We first refine this statement from gauge equivalence classes to the full higher smooth moduli stack of fields, ...
متن کامل-duality for Non-free Circle Actions Ulrich Bunke and Thomas Schick Dedicated to Krzysztof Wojciechowski on His 50th Birthday
1.1.1. The concept of T -duality has its origin in string theory. Very roughly speaking, it relates one type of string theory on some target space with another type of string theory on a T -dual target space. Some topological aspects of T -duality in the presence of H-fields were studied in Bunke and Schick [2] (following earlier work by Bouwknegt, Mathai and Evslin [1], and others). In those p...
متن کاملMy title
We describe a general construction of geometric U-folds compatible with the global formulation of four-dimensional extended supergravity on a differentiable spin manifold. The topology of geometric U-folds depends on certain fiber bundles which encode how supergravity fields are globally glued together. Smooth non-trivial U-folds of this type can exist only in theories where both the scalar and...
متن کاملResolutions of C n / Z n Orbifolds , their U ( 1 ) Bundles , and Applications to String Model Building
We describe blowups of C/Zn orbifolds as complex line bundles over CP n−1 . We construct some gauge bundles on these resolutions. Apart from the standard embedding, we describe U(1) bundles and an SU(n−1) bundle. Both blowups and their gauge bundles are given explicitly. We investigate ten dimensional SO(32) super Yang–Mills theory coupled to supergravity on these backgrounds. The integrated Bi...
