Brane-like States in Superstring Theory and the Dynamics of non-Abelian Gauge Theories
Dimitri Polyakov
We propose a string-theoretic ansatz describing the dynamics of SU(N) Yang-Mills theories in the limit of large N in D=4. The construction uses in a crucial way open-string vertex…
Ghost Number Cohomologies and M-theory Quantum States
Dimitri Polyakov
We review and develop the formalism of ghost number cohomologies, outlined in our previous work, to classify the quantum states of M-theory. We apply this formalism to the matrix f…
A Comment on a Fivebrane Term in Superalgebra
Dimitri Polyakov
We review our recent discussion of fivebrane central terms that appear in the space-time superalgebra in D=10 provided that the space-time supercharges are taken in non-canonical p…
S-Duality as an Open String Gauge Symmetry
Dimitri Polyakov
The paper discusses the connection between S-duality and string-theoretic picture-changing formalism. The singular limit of the picture-changing transformation at zero momentum lea…
