We show that the supermembrane theory compactified on a torus is invariant under T-duality. There are two different topological sectors of the compactified supermembrane (M2) classified according to a vanishing or nonvanishing second…
Preserving the T-duality invariance of the continuum string in its random lattice regularization uniquely determines the random matrix model potential. For D=0 the duality transformation can be performed explicitly on the matrix action, and…
Recent work on the action of T duality on Dirichlet-branes is generalized to the case in which the open string satisfies boundary conditions that are neither Neumann nor Dirichlet. This is achieved by implementing T duality as a canonical…
The partition function with boundary conditions for various two-dimensional Ising models is examined and previously unobserved properties of conformal invariance and universality are established numerically.
The equations of motion of a super non-Abelian T-dual sigma model on the Lie supergroup $(C^1_1+A)$ in the curved background are explicitly solved by the super Poisson-Lie T-duality. To find the solution of the flat model we use the…
We consider a class of 2d $\sigma$-models on products of group spaces that provide new examples of a close connection between integrability and stability under the RG flow. We first study the integrable $G \times G$ model derived from the…
We study perturbative unitarity corrections in the generalized leading logarithmic approximation in high energy QCD. It is shown that the corresponding amplitudes with up to six gluons in the t-channel are conformally invariant in impact…
There has been recent interest in conformal twisted boundary conditions and their realisations in solvable lattice models. For the Ising and Potts quantum chains, these amount to boundary terms that are related to duality, which is a proper…
Applying the loop variable proposal to a sigma model (with boundary) in a curved target space, we give a systematic method for writing the gauge and generally covariant interacting equations of motion for the modes of the open string in a…
It is found that the induced gravity with conformal couplings requires the conformal invariance in both classical and quantum levels for consistency. This is also true for the induced gravity with an extended conformal coupling interacting…
Using the loop variable formalism as applied to a sigma model in curved target space, we give a systematic method for writing down gauge and generally covariant equations of motion for the modes of the free open string in curved space. The…
The invariants in D=4, N=4 supergravity are discussed up to the three-loop order (where one expects a general R^4 structure). Because there is an anomaly in the rigid SL(2,R) symmetry of this theory, the analysis of possible restrictions on…
This is the second of two papers devoted to the proof of conformal invariance of the critical double random current on the square lattice. More precisely, we show convergence of loop ensembles obtained by taking the cluster boundaries in…
We discuss duality in $N=1$ SUSY gauge theories in Seiberg's conformal window, $(3N_c/2)<N_f<3N_c$. The 't Hooft consistency conditions -- the basic tool for establishing the infrared duality -- are considered taking into account higher…
When in general geometric backgrounds the metric is accompanied by torsion, the metric conformal properties should correspondingly be followed by analogous torsional conformal properties; however a combined metric torsional conformal…
We show that the one- and two-loop $\beta$-functions of the closed, bosonic string can be written in a manifestly O($D$,$D$)-covariant form. Based on this result, we prove that 1) Poisson-Lie symmetric $\sigma$-models are two-loop…
We consider two dimensional non linear sigma models on few symmetric superspaces, which are supergroup manifolds of coset type. For those spaces where one loop beta function vanishes, two loop beta function is calculated and is shown to be…
This work presents a first study of a radiative calculation for the gravitational axial anomaly in the massless Abelian Higgs model. The two loop contribution to the anomalous correlation function of one axial current and two…
We find the explicit T-duality transformation in the phase space formulation of the N=(1,1) sigma model. We also show that the T-duality transformation is a symplectomorphism and it is an element of O(d,d). Further, we find the explicit…
We study the interplay between T-duality, compactification and supersymmetry. We prove that when the original configuration has unbroken space-time supersymmetries, the dual configuration also does if a special condition is met: the Killing…
