  1. 11. Tensionless Strings and Supersymmetric Sigma Models : Aspects of the Target Space Geometry

    Författare :Andreas Bredthauer; Ulf G. Lindström; Bengt E.W. Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Theoretical physics; Theoretical Physics; String Theory; Tensionless Strings; Supergravity Backgrounds; Plane Wave; Supersymmetry; Non-linear Sigma Models; Generalized Complex Geometry; Teoretisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, two aspects of string theory are discussed, tensionless strings and supersymmetric sigma models.The equivalent to a massless particle in string theory is a tensionless string. Even almost 30 years after it was first mentioned, it is still quite poorly understood. LÄS MER

  3. 12. 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. 13. Exceptional Lie algebras and M-theory

    Författare :Jakob Palmkvist; Marc Henneaux; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis we study algebraic structures in M-theory, in particular the exceptional Lie algebras arising in dimensional reduction of its low energy limit, eleven-dimensional supergravity. We focus on e8 and its infinite-dimensional extensions e9 and e10. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Studies in field theory : supersymmetry and torsion potentials

    Författare :Johan Grundberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : This report contains introductions to and summaries of the papers which constitute my thesis. These papers treat four different topics: The first of these is the superspace treatment of the linear multiplet in six space-time dimensions, in particular the solution of the constraint for this multiplet.

  7. 15. Measurements of supersymmetry with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC

    Författare :Jesper Söderqvist; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : If supersymmetry exists at the electroweak scale, then it should be possible to discover it at CERN's next accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The phenomenology predicted by the supergravity inspired mimmal supersymmetric standard model (SUGRA) is examined in detail. LÄS MER
