Rational Conformal Field Theories With G_2 Holonomy | | R. Roiban

31 Oct 2001 | | Journal: | JHEP 0112 (2001) 008 | | Subject: | hep-th | | Abstract: | We study conformal field theories for strings propagating on compact, seven-dimensional manifolds with G_2 holonomy. In particular, we describe the construction of rational examples of such models. We argue that analogues of Gepner models are to be constructed based not on N=1 minimal models, but on Z_2 orbifolds of N=2 models. In Z_2 orbifolds of Gepner models times a circle, it turns out that unless all levels are even, there are no new Ramond ground states from twisted sectors. In examples such as the quintic Calabi-Yau, this reflects the fact that the classical geometric orbifold singularity can not be resolved without violating G_2 holonomy. We also comment on supersymmetric boundary states in such theories, which correspond to D-branes wrapping supersymmetric cycles in the geometry. | | Source: | arXiv, hep-th/0110302 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
