After a short introduction to Matrix theory, we explain how can one generalize matrix models to describe toroidal compactifications of M-theory and the heterotic vacua with 16 supercharges. This allows us, for the first time in history, to…
We study the quantum moduli spaces and dynamical superpotentials of four dimensional $SU(2)^r$ linear and ring moose theories with $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry and link chiral superfields in the fundamental representation. Nontrivial…
The full U-duality symmetry of toroidally compactified M-theory can only be displayed by allowing non-rectangular tori with expectation values of the gauge fields. We construct an E_d(Z) U-duality invariant mass formula incorporating…
We present "M5 algebra" to derive Courant brackets of the generalized geometry of $T\oplus \Lambda^2T^\ast \oplus \Lambda^5T^\ast$: The Courant bracket generates the generalized diffeomorphism including gauge transformations of three and…
We derive the super Yang-Mills action of Dp-branes on a torus T^{p-4} from the nonabelian (2,0) theory with Lie 3-algebra. Our realization is based on Lie 3-algebra with pairs of Lorentzian metric generators. The resultant theory then has…
This thesis is devoted to various questions connected with duality. It is composed of two parts. The first part discusses some aspects of timelike T-duality. We explore the possibility of compactification of supergravity theories with…
Characters of $E_8\otimes E_8$ and SO(32) heterotic strings involving the full internal symmetry Cartan subalgebra generators are defined after circle compactification so that they are T dual. The novel point, as compared with an earlier…
The low-energy expansion of one-loop amplitudes in type II string theory generates a series of world-sheet integrals whose integrands can be represented by world-sheet Feynman diagrams. These integrands are modular invariant and…
Our goal in this paper is to discuss a conjectural correspondence between enumerative geometry of curves in Calabi-Yau 5-folds $Z$ and 1-dimensional sheaves on 3-folds $X$ that are embedded in $Z$ as fixed points of certain…
In this paper we present a discrete, non-perturbative formulation for type IIB string theory. Being a supersymmetric quiver matrix mechanics model in the framework of M(atrix) theory, it is a generalization of our previous proposal of…
We present the coset structure of the untwisted moduli space of heterotic $(0,2) \; Z_N$ orbifold compactifications with continuous Wilson lines. For the cases where the internal 6-torus $T_6$ is given by the direct sum $T_4 \oplus T_2$, we…
In our previous paper, it was shown that BLG model based on a Lorentzian metric 3-algebra gives Dp-brane action whose worldvolume is compactified on torus T^d (d=p-2). Here the 3-algebra was a generalized one with d+1 pairs of Lorentzian…
The issue of justifying the matrix-theory proposal is revisited. We first discuss how the matrix-string theory is derived directly starting from the eleven dimensional supermembrane wrapped around a circle of radius $R=g_s\ell_s$, without…
We study the exceptional U duality group $E_d$ of M-theory compactified on a d-torus and its representations using Matrix theory. We exhibit the $E_d$ structure and show that p-branes wrapped or unwrapped around the longitudinal direction…
We show that the open membrane action on $T^3\times S^1/Z^2$ is equivalent to the closed membrane action on K3. The main difference between the two actions is that one generates the KK modes in the worldvolume action which is the strong…
The monodromy of torus bundles associated to completely integrable systems can be computed using geometric techniques (constructing homology cycles) or analytic arguments (computing discontinuities of abelian integrals). In this article we…
T-duality (Fourier-Mukai duality) and properties of classical instanton moduli spaces can be used to deduce some properties of $\alpha^{\prime}$-corrected moduli spaces of branes for Type IIA string theory compactified on $K3$ or $T^4$.…
We construct for arbitrary dimensions a universal T-duality covariant expression for the Wess-Zumino terms of supersymmetric String Solitons in toroidally compactified string theories with 32 supercharges. The worldvolume fields occurring…
This paper serves to elucidate the nature of toric duality dubbed in hep-th/0003085 in the construction for world volume theories of D-branes probing arbitrary toric singularities. This duality will be seen to be due to certain permutation…
The vortex dynamics of Euler's equations for a constant density fluid flow in $R^4$ is studied. Most of the paper focuses on singular Dirac delta distributions of the vorticity two-form $\omega$ in $R^4$. These distributions are supported…
