Derivação no super-espaço das equações efetivas da supercorda tipo II /

Nedel, Daniel Luiz. January 2003 (has links)
Orientador: Nathan Jacob Berkovits / Banca: Fernando Pablo Devecchi / Banca: José Abdalla Helayel Neto / Banca: José Francisco Gomes / Banca: Rogério Rosenfeld / Resumo: Nesta tese, são derivadas as equações de movimento efetivas da supercorda tipo II, assim como os vínculos da supergravidade tipo II. Os resultados são obtidos acoplando a supercorda tipo II, descrita no formalismo híbrido desenvolvido por Berkovits, ao super-espaço curvo N = 2 e exigindo invariância superconforme N = (2, 2) perturbativamente na folha de mundo. Todos os cálculos são realizados diretamente no super-espaço N = 2, como consequência imediata do formalismo utilizado. A análise no nível de árvore mostra que os vínculos derivados quebram a invariância conforme e SU(2). O dilaton, que não acopla classicamente, será o campo compensador e as simetrias da folha de mundo exigem que este seja representado por multipleto vetorial e um multipleto hypertensorial. Em particular, mostramos que a supercorda seleciona um gauge particular, onde a matéria é fixa e não o compensador. As equações de movimento para o compensador são derivadas no nível de árvore e confirmadas extendendo a análise em 1 loop / Abstract: In this thesis, the effective equations of motion of type II superstring has been derived, as well as the type II supergravity constraints. The results are obtained by coupling type II superstring (described in Berkovits' formalism) to N = 2 curved superspace and imposing perturbatively N = (2,2) superconformal invariance on the worldsheet. The computations are carried out in N = 2 superspace, as an immediate consequence of the utilized formalism. The analysis at tree level shows that the derived constraints break conformal invariance and SU(2). The dilaton, that doesn't couple classically, will be the compensator field, and the worldsheet symmetries require that it is represented by a vector and a hypertensorial multiplet. In particular, we show that superstring selects a particular gauge where the matter is fixed, not the compensator. The compensator's equations of motion are derived at tree level and confirmed extending the analysis to one loop / Doutor

Os formalismos da supercorda /

Mafra, Carlos Roberto. January 2005 (has links)
Orientador: Nathan Jacob Berkovits / Banca: Vladimir Demyanovich Pershin / Banca: Victor de Oliveira Rivelles / Resumo: Neste trabalho nós revisamos o formalismo de Green-Schwarz (GS) da supercorda e discutimos os seus problemas e vantagens com relação ao formalismo de Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz (RNS). Nós demonstramos, entre outras coisas, que o formalismo de Green-Schwarz possui supersimetria manifesta no espaço-tempo, mas que não pode ser quantizado covariantemente, exatamente o oposto do que ocorre em RNS. Então nós finalmente estudamos o formalismo recém criado de espinores puros, que incorpora as boas propriedades dos formalismos anteriores sem incluir seus defeitos / Abstract: n this work we review the Green-Schwarz (GS) formalism of the superstring and discuss its problems and advantages with respect to the Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz (RNS) formalism. We show, among other things, that the GS formalism has manifest spacetime supersymmetry, but at the same time it cannot be covariantly quantized, exactly the opposite of what happens in the RNS formalism. Then we finally study the recently developed pure spinor formalism, which has the good properties of the previous two without having their problems / Mestre

A non-perturbative theory of giant gravitons using AdS/CFT

Kemp, Garreth James 07 May 2015 (has links)
A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. February 2015. / We explore the non-perturbative physics of giant gravitons in type IIB string theory on the AdS5 ⇥ S5 background in this thesis. The gauge theory dual is N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory with a U(N) gauge group. We diagonalise the one and two-loop dilatation operators acting on the restricted Schur polynomial basis. These operators are dual to a system of giant gravitons with strings attached. Hence, we present evidence for integrability in certain non-planar sectors of the gauge theory. In the second half of the thesis, we turn our focus to N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory with an SO(N) gauge group. In this case, the geometry of the dual gravity theory is AdS5 ⇥RP5. The non-planar physics of the SO(N) theory is distinct from that of the U(N) theory. To pursue the goal of searching for non-planar integrability in the SO(N) gauge theory, one might try to generalise the restricted Schur basis to the SO(N) case. We propose such a basis and evaluate their two-point functions exactly in the free theory. Further, we develop techniques to compute correlation functions of multi-trace operators involving two scalar fields exactly. Lastly, we extend these results to the theory with an Sp(N) gauge group.

Nesta dissertação, estudamos a relação entre o espectro da teoria de supergravidade tipo IIB em AdS5 × S5 (limite de baixas energias da teoria de supercordas mencionada acima) e a família de operadores invariantes degauge em N = 4 SYM descrita em [P. Howe, P. West, Int. J. Mod. Phys. A 14 (1999) 2659] através do uso de um superespaço harmônico, tendo como base principal o artigo [P. Heslop, P. Howe, Phys. Lett. B 502 (2001) 259]. Fazemos ainda uma revisão do formalismo de cosets, que é amplamente utilizado neste trabalho / The AdS/CFT correspondence, as conjectured by Maldacena, suggests a remarkable equivalence between two apparently unrelated theories, namely a type IIB superstring theory on an AdS5 ×S5 background and a maximally supersymmetric (N = 4) super Yang–Mills (SYM) theory in four dimensions. In this dissertation, we study the relation between the spectrum of the type IIB supergravity theory on AdS5 × S5 (low-energy limit of the superstring theory mentioned above) and the family of gauge-invariant operators inN = 4 SYM described in [P. Howe, P. West, Int. J. Mod. Phys. A 14 (1999) 2659] by making use of a harmonic superspace, mostly based on [P. Heslop, P. Howe, Phys. Lett.B502 (2001) 259]. Moreover, we review the coset space formalism, which is largely used in the present work
