On topological M-theory
Giulio Bonelli, Alessandro Tanzini, Maxim Zabzine
We construct a gauge fixed action for topological membranes on -manifold such that its bosonic part is the standard membrane theory in a particular gauge. We prove that quantu…
Bosonic Open Strings in a Tachyonic Background Field
Tasneem Zehra Husain, Maxim Zabzine
We study a bosonic open string coupled to a tachyonic background field and find that the tachyon field can effectively be replaced by a configuration of D-branes placed at e…
Fractional instantons in supersymmetric gauge theories
Maxim Zabzine
We consider evidence for the existence of gauge configurations with fractional charge in pure N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory . We argue that these field configurations are si…
Gaugino condensate and Veneziano-Yankielowicz effective Lagrangian
Myck Schwetz, Maxim Zabzine
We study the sypersymmetric pure Yang-Mills theory with semisimple Lie groups. We show that the general form of the gluino condensate is determined solely by the symmetries of the…
Zamolodchikov's C-theorem and phase transitions
Maxim Zabzine
We discuss the possibility of generalizing some aspects of the C-theorem within two different approaches, the conventional RG and the Wilson RG flows. We show that the original Zam…
The topology of multi-coupling deformations of CFT
Ulf Lindstrom, Maxim Zabzine
We discuss the topological properties of the manifold of coupling constants for multi-coupling deformations of conformal field theories. We calculate the Euler and Betti numbers an…
