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. BRST and Topological Gauge Theories

   Författare :Niclas Sandström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gauge theory; BRST-quantization; topological field theory; BV-quantization; almost product structure APS ; superfield formulation;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, the BRST-quantization of gauge theories is discussed. A detailed analysis of the BRST-quantization on inner product spaces is performed for a class of abelian models, including reparametrization invariant ones. General rules how to obtain physical wave functions and propagators are proposed. LÄS MER

4. 3. Strings, Conformal Field Theory and Noncommutative Geometry

   Författare :Keizo Matsubara; Anton Alekseev; Edwin Langmann; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theoretical physics; Theoretical physics; String theory; Conformal field theory; Noncommutative geometry; Star-products; Teoretisk fysik; Physics; Fysik;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis describes some aspects of noncommutative geometry and conformal field theory. The motivation for the investigations made comes to a large extent from string theory. This theory is today considered to be the most promising way to find a solution to the problem of unifying the four fundamental interactions in one single theory. LÄS MER

5. 4. The Quest for M-theory

   Författare :Ulf Gran; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; supersymmetry; solitons; gauge symmetry; M-theory; string theory; duality; p-branes; D-branes; superspace; supergravity;

   Sammanfattning : In ten dimensions, there exist five consistent string theories and in eleven dimensions there is a unique supergravity theory. When trying to find the fundamental theory of nature this is clearly an "embarrassment of riches". In the mid 90s, however, it was discovered that these theories are all related via a kind of transformation called duality. LÄS MER

7. 5. Aspects of Yang-Mills Theory : Solitons, Dualities and Spin Chains

   Författare :Lisa Freyhult; Antti Niemi; Poul Damgaard; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theoretical physics; Theoretical Physics; Field theory; String theory; Yang-Mills; Effective models; Supersymmetry; Solitons; Fermion number; Duality; AdS CFT correspondence; Bethe ansatz; Teoretisk fysik; Physics; Fysik;

   Sammanfattning : One of the still big problems in the Standard Model of particle physics is the problem of confinement. Quarks or other coloured particles have never been observed in isolation. Quarks are only observed in colour neutral bound states. The strong interactions are described using a Yang-Mills theory. LÄS MER
