It is well known that space-time coordinates and corresponding Dp-brane worldvolume become non-commutative, if open string ends on Dp-brane with Neveu-Schwarz background field B µν . In this paper we extend these considerations including the dilaton field Φ, linear in coordinates x µ . In that case the coordinate in direction orthogonal to the hyper plane Φ = const, commutes with other Dp-brane coordinates.
We present a procedure for constructing actions describing propagation of W-strings on group manifolds by using the Hamiltonian canonical formalism and representations of W-algebras in terms of Kac-Moody currents. An explicit construction is given in the case of the W 3 string.
In this article we offer the interpretation of the fermionic T-duality of the
type II superstring theory in double space. We generalize the idea of double
space doubling the fermionic sector of the superspace. In such doubled space
fermionic T-duality is represented as permutation of the fermionic coordinates
$\theta^\alpha$ and $\bar\theta^\alpha$ with the corresponding fermionic T-dual
ones, $\vartheta_\alpha$ and $\bar\vartheta_\alpha$, respectively. Demanding
that T-dual transformation law has the same form as inital one, we obtain the
known form of the fermionic T-dual NS-R i R-R background fields. Fermionic
T-dual NS-NS background fields are obtained under some assumptions. We conclude
that only symmetric part of R-R field strength and symmetric part of its
fermionic T-dual contribute to the fermionic T-duality transformation of
dilaton field and analyze the dilaton field in fermionic double space. As a
model we use the ghost free action of type II superstring in pure spinor
formulation in approximation of constant background fields up to the quadratic
terms.Comment: Four paragraphs in the Introduction added in order to better motivate
the subject, explained the choice of action (detailed derivation
We introduce the 2D dimensional double space with the coordinates Z M = (x µ , y µ ) which components are the coordinates of initial space x µ and its T-dual y µ . We shall show that in this extended space the T-duality transformations can be realized simply by exchanging places of some coordinates x a , along which we want to perform Tduality and the corresponding dual coordinates y a . In such approach it is evident that T-duality leads to the physically equivalent theory and that complete set of T-duality transformations form subgroup of the 2D permutation group. So, in the double space we are able to represent the backgrounds of all T-dual theories in unified manner.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
