Exact Monodromy Group of N=2 Heterotic Superstring

چکیده
We describe an N = 2 heterotic superstring model of rank-3 which is dual to the type-II string compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold with Betti numbers b 1,1 = 2 and b 1,2 = 86. We show that the exact duality symmetry found from the type II realization contains the per-turbative duality group of the heterotic model, as well as the exact quantum monodromies of the rigid SU(2) super-Yang-Mills theory. Moreover, it contains a non-perturbative mon-odromy which is stringy in origin and corresponds roughly to an exchange of the string 1 Laboratoire Propre du CNRS UPR A.0014.

Duality Symmetries in N = 2 Heterotic Superstring
We review the derivation and the basic properties of the perturbative prepotential in N=2 compactifications of the heterotic superstring. We discuss the structure of the perturbative monodromy group and the embedding of rigidly supersymmetric monodromies associated with enhanced gauge groups, at both perturbative and non-perturbative level.
متن کاملPerturbative Prepotential and Monodromies in N =2 Heterotic Superstring
We discuss the prepotential describing the effective field theory of N =2 heterotic superstring models. At the one loop-level the prepotential develops logarithmic sin-gularities due to the appearance of charged massless states at particular surfaces in the moduli space of vector multiplets. These singularities modify the classical duality symmetry group which now becomes a representation of th...
متن کاملHeterotic string solutions and coset conformal field theories
Abstract We discuss solutions of the heterotic string theory which are analogous to bosonic and superstring backgrounds related to coset conformal field theories. A class of exact ‘left-right symmetric’ solutions is obtained by supplementing the metric, antisymmetric tensor and dilaton of the superstring solutions by the gauge field background equal to the generalised Lorentz connection with to...
متن کاملMaximally supersymmetric string theories in D<10.
The existence of maximally supersymmetric solutions to heterotic string theory that are not toroidal compactifications of the ten-dimensional superstring is established. We construct an exact fermionic realization of an N=1 supersymmetric string theory in D=8 with non-simply-laced gauge group Sp(20). Toroidal compactification to six and four dimensions gives maximally extended supersymmetric th...

We review characteristic features of N = 2 supersymmetric vector mul-tiplets and discuss symplectic reparametrizations and their relevance for monopoles and dyons. We close with an analysis of perturbative corrections to the low-energy effective action of N = 2 heterotic superstring vacua. ABSTRACT We review characteristic features of N = 2 supersymmetric vector multiplets and discuss symplecti...
