A regularization of field theory on non-commutative torus

Matrix model is used as a regularization of field theory on non-commutative torus. However, there exists an example that the product of the large-N limit of matrices does not coincide with that of the corresponding fields. We propose a new procedure for regularizing fields on a non-commutative torus by matrices with the help of the projection in the representation space, so that the products of the matrices coincide with those of the corresponding fields in the large-N limit.

Recovering Lorentz Invariance of DLCQ

We propose a way to recover Lorentz invariance of the perturbative S matrix in the Discrete Light-Cone Quantization (DLCQ) in the continuum limit without spoiling the trivial vacuum.

Rolling down to D-brane and tachyon matter

We investigate the spatially inhomogeneous decay of an unstable D-brane and construct an asymptotic solution which describes a codimension one D-brane and the tachyon matter in boundary string field theory. In this solution, the tachyon matter exists around the lower-dimensional D-brane.

Comments on the global constraints in light-cone string and membrane theories

In the light-cone closed string and toroidal membrane theories, we associate the global constraints with gauge symmetries. In the closed string case, we show that the physical states defined by the BRS charge satisfy the level-matching condition. In the toroidal membrane case, we show that the Faddeev-Popov ghost and anti-ghost corresponding to the global constraints are essentially free even if we adopt any gauge fixing condition for the local constraint. We discuss the quantum double-dimensional reduction of the wrapped supermembrane with the global constraints.

On the quantum matrix string

We study the behavior of matrix string theory in the strong coupling region, where it is expected to reduce to discrete light-cone type IIA superstring. In the large $N$ limit, the reduction corresponds to the double-dimensional reduction from wrapped supermembranes on $R^{10}\times S^1$ to type IIA superstrings on $R^{10}$ in the light-cone gauge, which is shown classically, however it is not obvious quantum mechanically. We analyze the problem in matrix string theory by using the strong coupling ($1/g$) expansion. We find that the quantum corrections do not cancel out at $\mathcal{O}(1/g^2)$. Detailed calculations can be seen in Ref.\cite{UY}.

Gauge Fields on Tachyon Matter

We study the rolling tachyon including the gauge fields in boundary string field theory. We show that there are no plane wave solutions for the gauge fields for large time. The disappearance of the plane wave solutions indicates that there are no excitations of the gauge fields on the tachyon matter, which is consistent with the Sen's conjecture.

Representation of SU(infinity) Algebra for Matrix Models

We investigate how the matrix representation of SU(N) algebra approaches that of the Poisson algebra in the large N limit. In the adjoint representation, the (N^2-1) times (N^2-1) matrices of the SU(N) generators go to those of the Poisson algebra in the large N limit. However, it is not the case for the N times N matrices in the fundamental representation.

On the strong coupling region in quantum matrix string theory

We study the behavior of matrix string theory in the strong coupling region, where matrix strings reduce to discrete light-cone type IIA superstrings except at the usual string-interaction points. In the large N limit, this reduction corresponds to the double-dimensional reduction from wrapped supermembranes on R^{10} x S^1 to type IIA superstrings on R^{10} in the light-cone gauge. Such reductions were shown classically, while they are not obvious quantum mechanically. Recently, Sekino and Yoneya analyzed the double-dimensional reduction of the wrapped supermembrane quantum mechanically to one-loop order in the strong coupling expansion. We analyze the problem in matrix string theory by using the same expansion. At the one-loop level, the quantum corrections cancel out as was presented by them. However, at the two-loop level we find that the quantum corrections cancel out only for the leading terms in the large N.

Large-N behaviors of the IIB matrix model and the regularized Schild models

We evaluate $N$ dependences of correlation functions in the bosonic part of the IIB matrix model by the Monte Carlo method. We also evaluate those in two sorts of regularized Schild models and find that the $N$ dependences are different from those in the matrix model. In particular, the distribution of the eigenvalues are logarithmically divergent in the regularized Schild model when $g^2N$ is fixed.

Does DLCQ S-matrix have a covariant continuum limit?

We develop a systematic DLCQ perturbation theory and show that DLCQ S-matrix does not have a covariant continuum limit for processes with $p^+=0$ exchange. This implies that the role of the zero mode is more subtle than ever considered in DLCQ and hence must be treated with great care also in non-perturbative approach. We also make a brief comment on DLCQ in string theory.

Large N Structure of the IIB Matrix Model

We study large N behavior of the IIB matrix model using the equivalence between the IIB matrix model for finite N and a field theory on a non-commutative periodic lattice with N x N sites. We find that the large N dependences of correlation functions can be obtained by naively counting the number of fields in the field theory on the non-commutative periodic lattice. Furthermore the large N scaling behavior of the coupling constant g is determined if we impose that the expectation values of Wilson loops are calculable.

On the DLCQ as a light-like limit in string theory

We study the issue of defining the discrete light-cone quantization (DLCQ) in perturbative string theory as a light-like limit. While this limit is unproblematic at the classical level, it is non-trivial at the quantum level due to the divergences by the zero-mode loops. We reconsider this problem in bosonic string theory. We construct the multi-loop scattering amplitudes in both open and closed string theories by using the method of Kikkawa, Sakita and Virasoro (KSV), and then we show that these scattering amplitudes are perfectly well-defined in this limit. We also discuss the vacuum amplitudes of the string theory. They are, however, ill-defined in the light-like limit due to the zero-mode loop divergences, and hence we want supersymmetry to cure those pathological divergences even in string theory.

Consequence of Hawking radiation from 2d dilaton black holes

We investigate the CGHS model through numerical calculation. The behavior of the mass function, which we introduced in our previous work as a ``local mass'', is examined. We found that the mass function takes negative values, which means that the amount of Hawking radiation becomes greater than the initial mass of the black hole as in the case of the RST model.
