Title: Monodromy relations from twisted homology

Abstract

We reformulate the monodromy relations of open-string scattering amplitudes as boundary terms of twisted homologies on the configuration spaces of Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. This allows us to write explicit linear relations involving loop integrands of open-string theories for any number of external particles and, for the first time, to arbitrary genus. In the non-planar sector, these relations contain seemingly unphysical contributions, which we argue clarify mismatches in previous literature. The text is mostly self-contained and presents a concise introduction to twisted homologies. As a result of this powerful formulation, we can propose estimates on the number of independent loop integrands based on Euler characteristics of the relevant configuration spaces, leading to a higher-genus generalization of the famous (n - 3)! result at genus zero.

Orbifold twist-field correlation functions and coset bosonization of parafermions

Thesis/Dissertation Griffin, P A

Two aspects of two-dimensional conformal field theory are developed. Both apply to the physics of string theory, which is a unified theory of gravity and gauge theories. The first topic is the analysis of the twist field correlation functions for Z{sub n} orbifold models on Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. Special emphasis is placed on the construction of the abelian differentials which describe the relative semi-locality properties of the twist fields, and on a homology basis of closed loops about the twist fields. The stress tensor method is used to determine correlators from these abelian differentials. This analysis implies thatmore »« less
Twisting the [ital N]=2 string

Journal Article Ketov, S V ; Lechtenfeld, O ; Parkes, A J - Physical Review, D (Particles Fields); (United States)

The most general homogeneous monodromy conditions in [ital N]=2 string theory are classified in terms of the conjugacy classes of the global symmetry group U(1,1)[direct product][ital openZ][sub 2]. For classes which generate a discrete subgroup [Gamma], the corresponding target space backgrounds [ital openC][sup 1,1]/[Gamma] include half spaces, complex orbifolds, and tori. We propose a generalization of the intercept formula to matrix-valued twists, but find massless physical states only for [Gamma]=[ital open]1 (untwisted) and [Gamma]=[ital openZ][sub 2] (in the manner of Mathur and Mukhi), as well as for [Gamma] being a parabolic element of U(1,1). In particular, the 16 [ital openZ][submore »« less

Fractional Hamiltonian monodromy from a Gauss-Manin monodromy

Journal Article Sugny, D ; Jauslin, H R ; Mardesic, P ; ... - Journal of Mathematical Physics

Fractional Hamiltonian monodromy is a generalization of the notion of Hamiltonian monodromy, recently introduced by [Nekhoroshev, Sadovskii, and Zhilinskii, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. 1 335, 985 (2002); and Ann. Henri Poincare 7, 1099 (2006)] for energy-momentum maps whose image has a particular type of nonisolated singularities. In this paper, we analyze the notion of fractional Hamiltonian monodromy in terms of the Gauss-Manin monodromy of a Riemann surface constructed from the energy-momentum map and associated with a loop in complex space which bypasses the line of singularities. We also prove some propositions on fractional Hamiltonian monodromy for 1:-n andmore » m:-n resonant systems.« less

Superconformal index, BPS monodromy and chiral algebras

Journal Article Cecotti, Sergio ; Song, Jaewon ; Vafa, Cumrun ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We show that specializations of the 4d N = 2 superconformal index labeled by an integer N is given by Tr MN where M is the Kontsevich-Soibelman monodromy operator for BPS states on the Coulomb branch. We provide evidence that the states enumerated by these limits of the index lead to a family of 2d chiral algebras A_N. This generalizes the recent results for the N = –1 case which corresponds to the Schur limit of the superconformal index. We show that this specialization of the index leads to the same integrand as that of the elliptic genus of compactificationmore »« less

SIMULATION OF HOMOLOGOUS AND CANNIBALISTIC CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS PRODUCED BY THE EMERGENCE OF A TWISTED FLUX ROPE INTO THE SOLAR CORONA

Journal Article Chatterjee, Piyali ; Fan, Yuhong - Astrophysical Journal Letters

We report the first results of a magnetohydrodynamic simulation of the development of a homologous sequence of three coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and demonstrate their so-called cannibalistic behavior. These CMEs originate from the repeated formations and partial eruptions of kink unstable flux ropes as a result of continued emergence of a twisted flux rope across the lower boundary into a pre-existing coronal potential arcade field. The simulation shows that a CME erupting into the open magnetic field created by a preceding CME has a higher speed. The second of the three successive CMEs is cannibalistic, catching up and merging withmore »« less
