    Matrix factorizations for nonaffine LG-models

    Full text link
    We propose a natural definition of a category of matrix factorizations for nonaffine Landau-Ginzburg models. For any LG-model we construct a fully faithful functor from the category of matrix factorizations defined in this way to the triangulated category of singularities of the corresponding fiber. We also show that this functor is an equivalence if the total space of the LG-model is smooth.Comment: 12 pages, minor corrections of TEX fil

    Derived categories of Burniat surfaces and exceptional collections

    Full text link
    We construct an exceptional collection ΄\Upsilon of maximal possible length 6 on any of the Burniat surfaces with KX2=6K_X^2=6, a 4-dimensional family of surfaces of general type with pg=q=0p_g=q=0. We also calculate the DG algebra of endomorphisms of this collection and show that the subcategory generated by this collection is the same for all Burniat surfaces. The semiorthogonal complement A\mathcal A of ΄\Upsilon is an "almost phantom" category: it has trivial Hochschild homology, and K_0(\mathcal A)=\bZ_2^6.Comment: 15 pages, 1 figure; further remarks expande

    Stability of Landau-Ginzburg branes

    Full text link
    We evaluate the ideas of Pi-stability at the Landau-Ginzburg point in moduli space of compact Calabi-Yau manifolds, using matrix factorizations to B-model the topological D-brane category. The standard requirement of unitarity at the IR fixed point is argued to lead to a notion of "R-stability" for matrix factorizations of quasi-homogeneous LG potentials. The D0-brane on the quintic at the Landau-Ginzburg point is not obviously unstable. Aiming to relate R-stability to a moduli space problem, we then study the action of the gauge group of similarity transformations on matrix factorizations. We define a naive moment map-like flow on the gauge orbits and use it to study boundary flows in several examples. Gauge transformations of non-zero degree play an interesting role for brane-antibrane annihilation. We also give a careful exposition of the grading of the Landau-Ginzburg category of B-branes, and prove an index theorem for matrix factorizations.Comment: 46 pages, LaTeX, summary adde

    A Scintillating Fiber Hodoscope for a Bremstrahlung Luminosity Monitor at an Electron−-Positron Collider

    Full text link
    The performance of a scintillating fiber (2mm diameter) position sensitive detector (4.8×4.84.8 \times 4.8 cm2^2 active area) for the single bremstrahlung luminosity monitor at the VEPP-2M electron-positron collider in Novosibirsk, Russia is described. Custom electronics is triggered by coincident hits in the X and Y planes of 24 fibers each, and reduces 64 PMT signals to a 10 bit (X,Y) address. Hits are accumulated (10 kHz) in memory and display (few Hz) the VEPP-2M collision vertex. Fitting the strongly peaked distribution ( ∌\sim 3-4 mm at 1.6m from the collision vertex of VEPP-2M ) to the expected QED angular distribution yields a background in agreement with an independent determination of the VEPP-2M luminosity.Comment: LaTeX with REVTeX style and options: multicol,aps. 8 pages, postscript figures separate from text.

    Bound, virtual and resonance SS-matrix poles from the Schr\"odinger equation

    Get PDF
    A general method, which we call the potential SS-matrix pole method, is developed for obtaining the SS-matrix pole parameters for bound, virtual and resonant states based on numerical solutions of the Schr\"odinger equation. This method is well-known for bound states. In this work we generalize it for resonant and virtual states, although the corresponding solutions increase exponentially when r→∞r\to\infty. Concrete calculations are performed for the 1+1^+ ground and the 0+0^+ first excited states of 14N^{14}\rm{N}, the resonance 15F^{15}\rm{F} states (1/2+1/2^+, 5/2+5/2^+), low-lying states of 11Be^{11}\rm{Be} and 11N^{11}\rm{N}, and the subthreshold resonances in the proton-proton system. We also demonstrate that in the case the broad resonances their energy and width can be found from the fitting of the experimental phase shifts using the analytical expression for the elastic scattering SS-matrix. We compare the SS-matrix pole and the RR-matrix for broad s1/2s_{1/2} resonance in 15F{}^{15}{\rm F}Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures (figures 3 and 4 consist of two figures each) and 4 table

    Semiorthogonal decompositions of derived categories of equivariant coherent sheaves

    Full text link
    Let X be an algebraic variety with an action of an algebraic group G. Suppose X has a full exceptional collection of sheaves, and these sheaves are invariant under the action of the group. We construct a semiorthogonal decomposition of bounded derived category of G-equivariant coherent sheaves on X into components, equivalent to derived categories of twisted representations of the group. If the group is finite or reductive over the algebraically closed field of zero characteristic, this gives a full exceptional collection in the derived equivariant category. We apply our results to particular varieties such as projective spaces, quadrics, Grassmanians and Del Pezzo surfaces.Comment: 28 pages, uses XY-pi

    More on general pp-brane solutions

    Full text link
    Recently it was found that the complete integration of the Einstein-dilaton-antisymmetric form equations depending on one variable and describing static singly charged pp-branes leads to two and only two classes of solutions: the standard asymptotically flat black pp-brane and the asymptotically non-flat pp-brane approaching the linear dilaton background at spatial infinity. Here we analyze this issue in more details and generalize the corresponding uniqueness argument to the case of partially delocalized branes. We also consider the special case of codimension one and find, in addition to the standard domain wall, the black wall solution. Explicit relations between our solutions and some recently found pp-brane solutions ``with extra parameters'' are presented.Comment: 29 pages, 2 figure
