World-Sheets from N=4 Super Yang-Mills

We examine whether the free energy of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory (SYM) in four dimensions corresponds to the partition function of the AdS_5 x S^5 superstring when corresponding operators are inserted into both theories. We obtain a formal free energy of N=4 U(N) SYM in four dimensions generated by the Feynman graph expansion to all orders of the 't Hooft coupling expansion with arbitrary N. This free energy is written as the sum over discretized closed two-dimensional surfaces that are identified with the world-sheets of the string. We compare this free energy with a formal partition function of the discretized AdS_5 x S^5 superstring with the kappa-symmetry fixed in the killing gauge and in the expansion corresponding to the weak 't Hooft coupling expansion in the SYM. We find common properties on both sides, although further studies are required to obtain a more precise comparison. Our result suggests a mechanism for how the world-sheet appears dynamically from N=4 SYM, thus enabling us to derive how the AdS_5 x S^5 superstring is reproduced in the AdS/CFT correspondence.Comment: 24 pages, 7 figures, typos corrected, references adde

Zariski Quantization as Second Quantization

The Zariski quantization is one of the strong candidates for a quantization of the Nambu-Poisson bracket. In this paper, we apply the Zariski quantization for first quantized field theories, such as superstring and supermembrane theories, and clarify physical meaning of the Zariski quantization. The first quantized field theories need not to possess the Nambu-Poisson structure. First, we construct a natural metric for the spaces on which Zariski product acts in order to apply the Zariski quantization for field theories. This metric is invariant under a gauge transformation generated by the Zariski quantized Nambu-Poisson bracket. Second, we perform the Zariski quantization of superstring and supermembrane theories as examples. We find flat directions, which indicate that the Zariski quantized theories describe many-body systems. We also find that pair creations and annihilations occur among the many bodies introduced by the Zariski quantization, by studying a simple model. These facts imply that the Zariski quantization is a second quantization. Moreover, the Zariski quantization preserves supersymmetries of the first quantized field theories. Thus, we can obtain second quantized theories of superstring and supermembranes by performing the Zariski quantization of the superstring and supermembrane theories.Comment: 18 pages, 2 figure

Moduli Space in Homological Mirror Symmetry

We prove that the moduli space of the pseudo holomorphic curves in the A-model on a symplectic torus is homeomorphic to a moduli space of Feynman diagrams in the configuration space of the morphisms in the B-model on the corresponding elliptic curve. These moduli spaces determine the $A_{\infty}$ structure of the both models.Comment: 21 pages, 8 figure

On the Structure Constants of Volume Preserving Diffeomorphism Algebra

Regularizing volume preserving diffeomorphism (VPD) is equivalent to a long standing problem, namely regularizing Nambu-Poisson bracket. In this paper, as a first step to regularizing VPD, we find general complete independent basis of VPD algebra. Especially, we find complete independent basis that give simple structure constants, where three area preserving diffeomorphism (APD) algebras are manifest. This implies that an algebra that regularizes VPD algebra should include three u(N) Lie algebras.Comment: 8 page

Covariant Formulation of M-Theory II

We propose a supersymmetric model that defines M-theory. It possesses SO(1, 10) super Poincare symmetry and is constructed based on the Lorentzian 3-algebra associated with U(N) Lie algebra. This model is a supersymmetric generalization of the model in arXiv:0902.1333. From our model, we derive BFSS matrix theory and IIB matrix model in the naive large N limit by taking appropriate BPS vacua.Comment: 9 pages, minor change

Born-Infeld Action from Supergravity

We show that the Born-Infeld action with the Wess-Zumino terms for the Ramond-Ramond fields, which is the D3-brane effective action, is a solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi (H-J) equation of type IIB supergravity. Adopting the radial coordinate as time, we develop the ADM formalism for type IIB supergravity reduced on $S^5$ and derive the H-J equation, which is the classical limit of the Wheeler-De Witt equation and whose solutions are classical on-shell actions. The solution to the H-J equation reproduces the on-shell actions for the supergravity solution of a stack of D3-branes in a $B_2$ field and the near-horizon limit of this supergravity solution, which is conjectured to be dual to noncommutative Yang Mills and reduces to $AdS_5 \times S^5$ in the commutative limit. Our D3-brane effective action is that of a probe D3-brane, and the radial time corresponds to the vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field in the dual Yang Mills. Our findings can be applied to the study of the holographic renormalization group.Comment: 25 pages, minor changes, published versio
