绘制超临界弦论的图景

Charting the landscape of supercritical string theory

Simeon Hellerman, Ian Swanson

摘要:

超临界维度中的弦论的特殊解可以在具有不同时空维度数量(通过维度猝灭)和不同世界片超对称性数量(通过c-对偶)的理论之间进行时间插值。这些解将超临界弦论与我们更熟悉的十维弦对偶网联系起来,并在超对称和纯玻色子弦论之间提供了精确的联系。维度淬火和c对偶性似乎是弦论中的自然概念,产生了相互关联的理论的大型网络。我们详细描述了这些网络中的一些,并讨论了在这个框架中出现的过渡类型的一般一致性约束。

英文摘要:

Special solutions of string theory in supercritical dimensions can interpolate in time between theories with different numbers of spacetime dimensions (via dimension quenching) and different amounts of worldsheet supersymmetry (via c-duality). These solutions connect supercritical string theories to the more familiar string duality web in ten dimensions, and provide a precise link between supersymmetric and purely bosonic string theories. Dimension quenching and c-duality appear to be natural concepts in string theory, giving rise to large networks of interconnected theories. We describe some of these networks in detail and discuss general consistency constraints on the types of transitions that arise in this framework.
