Factorization Conjecture and the Open/Closed String Correspondence
Marcus Baumgartl, Ivo Sachs, Samson L. Shatashvili
We present evidence for the factorization of the world-sheet path integrals for 2d conformal field theories on the disk into bulk and boundary contributions. This factorization is…
Kappa-symmetric deformations of M5-brane dynamics
J. M. Drummond, S. F. Kerstan
We calculate the first supersymmetric and kappa-symmetric derivative deformation of the M5-brane worldvolume theory in a flat eleven-dimensional background. By applying cohomologic…
Towards Integrability of Topological Strings I: Three-forms on Calabi-Yau manifolds
Anton A. Gerasimov, Samson L. Shatashvili
The precise relation between Kodaira-Spencer path integral and a particular wave function in seven dimensional quadratic field theory is established. The special properties of thre…
Higher-Dimensional Twistor Transforms using Pure Spinors
Nathan Berkovits, Sergey A. Cherkis
Hughston has shown that projective pure spinors can be used to construct massless solutions in higher dimensions, generalizing the four-dimensional twistor transform of Penrose. In…
On the Field Equations of Kaluza's Theory
Rossen I. Ivanov, Emil M. Prodanov
The field equations of the original Kaluza's theory are analyzed and it is shown that they lead to modification of Einstein's equations. The appearing extra energy-momentum tensor…
