1. 1. Dualities, Symmetries and Unbroken Phases in String Theory : Probing the Composite Nature of the String

   Författare :Johan Engquist; Joseph Minahan; Charlotte Kristjansen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Theoretical Physics; String Theory; M-Theory; Higher Spin Gauge Theory; Super Yang-Mills Theory; Anti-de Sitter Spacetime; Singletons; Massless Higher Spin Gauge Fields; AdS CFT Correspondence; Spin Chains; Semiclassical Strings; Tensionless Limits; Conformal Symmetry; Supersymmetry; Higher Spin Gauge Symmetry; Integrability; Fysik; Physics; Fysik;

   Sammanfattning : The thesis treats aspects of string/M-theory in anti-de Sitter spacetimes and their supersymmetric completions. By applying the AdS/CFT correspondence, as well as models of spin chains and singletons, we try to attain a better understanding of the underlying symmetries and the unbroken phases of string/M-theory.

3. 2. Superconformal Theories in Six Dimensions

   Författare :Pär Arvidsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; String theory; Field theories in higher dimensions; Superconformal symmetry;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of an introductory text, which is divided into two parts, and six appended research papers.The first part contains a general discussion on conformal and superconformal symmetry in six dimensions, and treats how the corresponding transformations act on space-time and superspace fields.

4. 3. Twisting and Turning in Six Dimensions

   Författare :Hampus Linander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 0 theory; 2; Yang-Mills theory; Topological twisting; Circle fibrations; Compactification; Supersymmetry; Topological field theory;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates certain aspects of a six-dimensional quantum theoryknown as (2,0) theory. This theory is maximally supersymmetric and conformal,making it the most symmetric higher dimensional quantum theory known. It hasresisted an explicit construction as a quantum field theory yet its existence can beinferred from string theory. LÄS MER

5. 4. Torn, Spun and Chopped : Various Limits of String Theory

   Författare :Fredric Kristiansson; Ulf Danielsson; Per Sundell; Bo Sundborg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theoretical physics; Theoretical physics; String theory; D-branes; Non-commutative open string theory; AdS CFT; Higher spin gauge theory; BMN; String bits; Fermion doubling; Teoretisk fysik; Physics; Fysik;

   Sammanfattning : For the first time in the history of physics we stand in front of a theory that might actually serve as a unification of it all - string theory. It provides a self-consistent framework for gravity and quantum mechanics, which naturally incorporates matter and gauge interactions of the type seen in the standard model. LÄS MER

7. 5. Constructing the six-dimensional (2,0) theories

   Författare :Erik Flink; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Field theory in higher dimensions; M-theory; string theory;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis we give a brief review of the six-dimensional(2,0) theories and how they emerge from the study of string/M-theory. In particular, the A_N version of (2,0) theory is the world-volume theory of N+1 parallel M5-branes in the limit where gravity decouples. LÄS MER
