The Elliptic curves in gauge theory, string theory, and cohomology
Hisham Sati
Elliptic curves play a natural and important role in elliptic cohomology. In earlier work with I. Kriz, thes elliptic curves were interpreted physically in two ways: as correspondi…
Duality symmetry and the form fields of M-theory
Hisham Sati
In previous work we derived the topological terms in the M-theory action in terms of certain characters that we defined. In this paper, we propose the extention of these characters…
Flux Quantization and the M-Theoretic Characters
Hisham Sati
In a previous work, hep-th/0501245, we introduced characters and classes built out of the M-theory four-form and the Pontrjagin classes, which we used to express the Chern-Simons a…
M-theory and Characteristic Classes
Hisham Sati
In this note we show that the Chern-Simons and the one-loop terms in the M-theory action can be written in terms of new characters involving the M-theory four-form and the string c…
Flux Compactifications on Projective Spaces and The S-Duality Puzzle
P. Bouwknegt, J. Evslin, B. Jurco +2
We derive a formula for D3-brane charge on a compact spacetime, which includes torsion corrections to the tadpole cancellation condition. We use this to classify D-branes and RR fl…
Type II string theory and modularity
Igor Kriz, Hisham Sati
This paper, in a sense, completes a series of three papers. In the previous two hep-th/0404013, hep-th/0410293, we have explored the possibility of refining the K-theory partition…
