A link between matroid theory and $p$-branes is discussed. The Schild type action for $p$-branes and matroid bundle notion provide the two central structures for such a link. We use such a connection to bring the duality concept in matroid theory to $p$-branes physics. Our analysis may be of particular interest in M-theory and in matroid bundle theory.

A LINK BETWEEN p-BRANES, NAMBU–POISSON STRUCTURE AND MATROIDS

Recently Nieto has proposed a link between oriented matroid theory and the Schild type action of p-branes. This particular matroid theory satisfies the local condition, i.e., the degenerate form must…

Remarks on Plücker embedding and totally antisymmetric gauge fields

We make a number of comments about the way the Plücker embedding, which can be derived via the Grassmann-Plücker relations, can be associated to totally antisymmetric gauge fields. As a first step we…

COMPLEXIFIED SIGMA-MODEL AND DUALITY

We show that the equations of motion associated with a complexified sigma-model action do not admit manifest dual SO(n, n) symmetry. In the process we discover new type of numbers which we called…

Smarandache Multi-Space Theory(IV)--Application to theoretical physics

A Smarandache multi-space is a union of $n$ different spaces equipped with some different structures for an integer $n\geq 2$, which can be both used for discrete or connected spaces, particularly…

Soldered bundle background for the de Sitter top

We prove that the mathematical framework for the de Sitter top system is the de Sitter fiber bundle. In this context, the concept of soldering associated with a fiber bundle plays a central role. We…

Towards an Ashtekar formalism in eight dimensions

This work investigates the possibility of extending the Ashtekar theory to eight dimensions by using the octonionic structure and the MacDowell–Mansouri formalism generalized to a spacetime of signature 1 + 7.

Aspects of (4 + 4)-Kaluza–Klein type theory

We develop a type of Kaluza–Klein formalism in (4 + 4)-dimensions. In the framework of this formalism, we obtain a new kind of Schwarzschild metric solution that, via Kruskal–Szequeres, can be…

Alternative Self-dual Gravity in Eight Dimensions

We develop an alternative Ashtekar formalism in eight dimensions. In fact, using a MacDowell-Mansouri physical framework and a self-dual curvature symmetry we propose an action in eight dimensions in…

Superfield description of a self-dual supergravity in the context of MacDowell–Mansouri theory

Using MacDowell–Mansouri theory, in this work we investigate a superfield description of the self-dual supergravity in the context of Ashtekar theory. We find that in order to reproduce previous…

Matrix Theory from Schild Action

Starting from the Schild action for membrane, we present an alternative formulation of Matrix Theory. First of all, we construct the Schild action for general bosonic p-brane which is classically…

Searching for a connection between matroid theory and string theory

We make a number of observations about matter-ghost string phase, which may eventually lead to a formal connection between matroid theory and string theory. In particular, in order to take advantage…
