Light-Cone Formulation of Super D2-Brane
The light-cone Hamiltonian approach is applied to the super D2-brane, and the
equivalent area--preserving and U(1) gauge-invariant effective Lagrangian,
which is quadratic in the U(1) gauge field, is derived. The latter is
recognised to be that of the three-dimensional U(1) gauge theory, interacting
with matter supermultiplets, in a special external induced supergravity metric
and the gravitino field, depending on matter fields. The duality between this
theory and 11d supermembrane theory is demonstrated in the light-cone gauge.Comment: Version accepted for publication in Phys.Lett.B, Latex, 12 page
Representations and BPS states of 10+2 superalgebra
The 12d supersymmetry algebra is considered, and classification of BPS states
for some canonical form of second-rank central charge is given. It is shown,
that possible fractions of survived supersymmetry can be 1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4,
5/16 and 1/2, the values 3/8, 7/16 cannot be achieved in this way. The
consideration of a special case of non-zero sixth-rank tensor charge also is
included.Comment: Minor changes.Accepted for publication in Mod.Phys.Lett.A.Latex fil
Free Fields Equations For Space-Time Algebras With Tensorial Momentum
Free field equations, with various spins, for space-time algebras with
second-rank tensor (instead of usual vector) momentum are constructed. Similar
algebras are appearing in superstring/M theories. The most attention is payed
to the gauge invariance properties, particularly the spin two equations with
gauge invariance are constructed for dimensions 2+2 and 2+4 and connection to
Einstein equation and diffeomorphism invariance is established
Towards SO(2,10)-Invariant M-Theory: Multilagrangian Fields
The SO(2,10) covariant extension of M-theory superalgebra is considered, with
the aim to construct a correspondingly generalized M-theory, or 11d
supergravity. For the orbit, corresponding to the supergravity multiplet,
the simplest unitary representations of the bosonic part of this algebra, with
sixth-rank tensor excluded, are constructed on a language of field theory in
66d space-time. The main peculiarities are the presence of more than one
equation of motion and corresponding Lagrangians for a given field and that the
gauge and SUSY invariances of the theory mean that the sum of variations of
these Lagrangians (with different variations of the same field) is equal to
zero.Comment: Latex 16 pages, minor correction, To appear in Mod. Phys. Lett.
Trace Anomalies and Cocycles of Weyl and Diffeomorphisms Groups
The general structure of trace anomaly, suggested recently by Deser and
Shwimmer, is argued to be the consequence of the Wess-Zumino consistency
condition. The response of partition function on a finite Weyl transformation,
which is connected with the cocycles of the Weyl group in dimensions is
considered, and explicit answers for are obtained. Particularly, it is
shown, that addition of the special combination of the local counterterms leads
to the simple form of that cocycle, quadratic over Weyl field , i.e.
the form, similar to the two-dimensional Lioville action. This form also
establishes the connection of the cocycles with conformal-invariant operators
of order and zero weight. Beside that, the general rule for transformation
of that cocycles into the cocycles of diffeomorphisms group is presented.Comment: 14 page
