  1. 1. The Complex World of Superstrings : On Semichiral Sigma Models and N=(4,4) Supersymmetry

    Författare :Malin Göteman; Ulf Lindström; Daniel Waldram; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Non-linear sigma models; extended supersymmetry; semichiral superfields; neutral hyperkähler geometry; generalized Kähler geometry; T-duality; vector multiplets; Theoretical Physics; Teoretisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : Non-linear sigma models with extended supersymmetry have constrained target space geometries, and can serve as effective tools for investigating and constructing new geometries. Analyzing the geometrical and topological properties of sigma models is necessary to understand the underlying structures of string theory. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Strings as Sigma Models and in the Tensionless Limit

    Författare :Jonas Persson; Ulf Lindström; Joseph Minahan; Fawad Hassan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Theoretical physics; Theoretical Physics; String Theory; Tensionless Strings; Supergravity Backgrounds; Plane Wave; Extended Supersymmetry; Non-Linear Sigma Models; Generalized Complex Geometry; T-duality; Teoretisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis considers two different aspects of string theory, the tensionless limit of the string and supersymmetric sigma models with extended supersymmetry. First, the tensionless limit is used to find a IIB supergravity background generated by a tensionless string. The background has the characteristics of a gravitational shock-wave. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Off-shell, maximal supersymmetry & exceptional geometry

    Författare :Anna Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Maximal supersymmetry; pure spinors; exceptional geometry; maximal supergravity; loop amplitudes; U-duality; high energy particle physics;

    Sammanfattning : Two lines of research are presented in this thesis, both with a focus on fundamental properties within the supersymmetric theories of high energy physics. The first features analyses based on the actions for maximal supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory and supergravity, provided by the pure spinor formalism. LÄS MER
