Embedding integrable superspin chain in string theory

Abstract

Using results on topological line defects of 4D Chern-Simons theory and the algebra/cycle homology correspondence in complex surfaces S with ADE singularities, we study the graded properties of the sl(m|n) chain and its embedding in string theory. Because of the Z2-grading of sl(m|n), we show that the (m+n)!/m!n! varieties of superspin chains with underlying super geometries have different cycle homologies. We investigate the algebraic and homological features of these integrable quantum chains and give a link between graded 2-cycles and genus-g Rieman surfaces Σg. Moreover, using homology language, we yield the brane realisation of the sl(m|n) chain in type IIA string and its uplift to M-theory. Other aspects like graded complex surfaces with sl(m|n) singularity as well as super magnons are also described.
