Description

Brane-like vertex operators, defining backgrounds with the ghost-matter mixing in Neveu -Schwarz-Ramond superstring theory, play an important role in world-sheet formulation of D-branes and M-theory. It is shown that dilaton beta function in ghost-matter mixing backgrounds becomes stochastic. The renormalization group (RG) equations in ghost-matter mixing backgrounds lead to non-Markovian Fokker-Planck equations which solutions describe superstrings in curved space-times with brane-like metrics. It is also shown that Feigenbaum universality constant δ = 4.669..., describing transitions from order to chaos in a huge variety of dynamical systems, appears analytically in these RG equations

Abstract (Russian)

Новые вершинные операторы, описывающие браны в теории струны, приводят к смешиванию материи с духами на мировом листе. Изучается влияние этого смешивания на ренормгрупповые потоки на мировом листе на примере дилатонной β-функции. Показано, что вследствие смешивания материи с духами ренормгрупповые уравнения становятся стохастическими и приводят к немарковским уравнениям Фоккера-Планка. Показано, что в этих уравнениях возникает знаменитая константа Фейгенбаума δ = 4.669..., описывающая переход к хаосу
