Covariant Quantization of the Superstring
After reviewing the Green-Schwarz superstring using the approach of Siegel, the su-perstring is covariantly quantized by constructing a BRST operator from the fermionic constraints and a bosonic pure spinor ghost variable. Physical massless vertex operators are constructed and, for the first time, N-point tree amplitudes are computed in a manifestly ten-dimensional super-Poincaré covariant mann...
متن کاملSuper - Poincaré Covariant Quantization of the Superstring
Using pure spinors, the superstring is covariantly quantized. For the first time, mass-less vertex operators are constructed and scattering amplitudes are computed in a manifestly ten-dimensional super-Poincaré covariant manner. Quantizable non-linear sigma model actions are constructed for the superstring in curved backgrounds, including the
متن کاملOn the Berkovits Covariant Quantization of GS Superstring
We study the covariant quantization of the Green-Schwarz (GS) superstrings proposed recently by Berkovits. In particular, we reformulate the Berkovits approach in a way that clarifies its relation with the GS approach and allows to derive in a straightforward way its extension to curved spacetime background. We explain the procedure working explicitly in the case of the heterotic string. 1 E-ma...
متن کاملLectures on Covariant Quantization of the Superstring Nathan Berkovits
These ICTP Trieste lecture notes review the pure spinor approach to quantizing the superstring with manifest D=10 super-Poincaré invariance. The first section discusses covariant quantization of the superparticle and gives a new proof of equivalence with the Brink-Schwarz superparticle. The second section discusses the superstring in a flat background and shows how to construct vertex operators...
متن کاملCovariant Quantization of the
By replacing ten-dimensional pure spinors with eleven-dimensional pure spinors, the formalism recently developed for covariantly quantizing the d=10 superparticle and super-string is extended to the d=11 superparticle and supermembrane. In this formalism, kappa symmetry is replaced by a BRST-like invariance using the nilpotent operator Q = λ α d α where d α is the worldvolume variable correspon...
