Topological Heterotic Rings

چکیده
We prove the existence of topological rings in (0,2) theories containing non-anomalous left-moving U(1) currents by which they may be twisted. While the twisted models are not topological, their ground operators form a ring under non-singular OPE which reduces to the (a,c) or (c,c) ring at (2,2) points and to a classical sheaf cohomology ring at large radius, defining a quantum sheaf cohomology away from these special loci. In the special case of Calabi-Yau compactifications, these rings are shown to exist globally on the moduli space if the rank of the holomorphic bundle is less than eight.

Field Theory Methods in Two-Dimensional and Heterotic String Theories
This thesis has three parts. In the first, we study the Das-Jevicki collective field description of arbitrary classical solutions in the c = 1 matrix model, which are believed to describe nontrivial spacetime backgrounds in 2D string theory. Our analysis naturally includes the case of a Fermi droplet cosmology. We cast the droplet collective field theory in standard coordinates and comment on t...
متن کاملTopological amplitudes in heterotic strings with Wilson lines
We consider d=4, N = 2 compactifications of heterotic strings with an arbitrary number of Wilson lines. In particular, we focus on known chains of candidate heterotic/type II duals. We give closed expressions for the topological amplitudes F (g) in terms of automorphic forms of SO(2 + k, 2,Z), and find agreement with the geometric data of the dual K3 fibrations wherever those are known. a marle...
متن کاملBoundary Conditions and Heterotic Construction in Topological Membrane Theory
Using the topological membrane approach to string theory, we suggest a geometric origin for the heterotic string. We show how different membrane boundary conditions lead to different string theories. We discuss the construction of closed oriented strings and superstrings, and demonstrate how the heterotic construction naturally arises from a specific choice of boundary conditions on the left an...
متن کاملTopological Phases of the Heterotic String ⋆
We analyze the phase structure of topological Calabi–Yau manifolds defined on the moduli space of instantons. We show in this framework that topological vacua describe new phases of the Heterotic String theory in which the flat directions corresponding to complex deformations are lifted. We also briefly discuss the phase structure of non–Kähler manifolds.
متن کاملR-symmetry of Heterotic N=2 Supergravities
The topological twist of N=2, D=4 matter-coupled supergravities requires a suitable R-symmetry. This symmetry is realised in the effective supergravities arising at tree level from certain heterotic compactifications. The set of in-stanton equations (topological gauge-fixings) is thus obtained. The conditions that R-symmetry should satisfy also when these theories are replaced by their " exact ...
