On the Weyl anomaly for chiral fermions
Enrique Alvarez, Luis Alvarez-Gaume, Jesus Anero +1
We compute the parity-odd part of the Weyl anomaly for chiral fermions in a background gravitational field. We start from a manifestly real form of the Lagrangian (that is, not onl…
Quantum Gravity
Enrique Alvarez
General lectures on quantum gravity.
Newtonian M(atrix) Cosmology
E. Alvarez, P. Meessen
A Newtonian matrix cosmology, correspoding to the BFSS model of eleven-dimensional M-theory in the IMF as a (0+1) M(atrix) model is constructed. Interesting new results are obtaine…
T-duality for open strings
E. Alvarez, J. L. F. Barbon, J. Borlaf
The T-duality transformations between open and closed superstrings in different D-manifolds are generalized to curved backgrounds with commuting isometries. We address some global…
Supersymmetry and Dualities
E. Alvarez, L. Alvarez-Gaume, I. Bakas
Duality transformations with respect to rotational isometries relate supersymmetric with non-supersymmetric backgrounds in string theory. We find that non-local world-sheet effects…
T-duality and spacetime supersymmetry
E. Alvarez, L. Alvarez-Gaume, I. Bakas
We analyze in detail the possible breaking of spacetime supersymmetry under T-duality transformations. We find that when appropiate world-sheet effects are taken into account appar…
Some Global Aspects of Duality is String Theory
E. Alvarez, L. Alvarez-Gaume, J. L. F. Barbon +1
We explore some of the global aspects of duality transformations in String Theory and Field Theory. We analyze in some detail the equivalence of dual models corresponding to differ…
