An Effective Superstring Spectral Action
A supersymmetric theory in two-dimensions has enough data to define a noncommutative space thus making it possible to use all tools of noncommutative geometry. In particular, we apply this to the N = 1 supersymmetric non-linear sigma model and derive an expression for the generalized loop space Dirac operator, in presence of a general background, using canonical quantization. The spectral actio...
متن کاملA New Approach to Superstring Field Theory
I review the construction of an action for open superstring field theory which does not suffer from the contact term problems of other approaches. I also discuss a possible generalization of this action for closed superstring field theory. (Talk presented at 32 Ahrenshoop International Symposium on Elementary Particle Theory in Buckow, Germany) 1 Problems with Conventional Approach The construc...
متن کاملIntroduction to Superstring Theory
In these lecture notes, an introduction to superstring theory is presented. Classical strings, covariant and light-cone quantization, supersymmetric strings, anomaly cancelation, compactification, T-duality, supersymmetry breaking, and threshold corrections to low-energy couplings are discussed. A brief introduction to nonperturbative duality symmetries is also included. Lectures presented at t...
متن کاملThe effective action for the 4-point functions in abelian open superstring theory
We construct the derivative corrections to the four-point vertices in the abelian open string effective action to all orders in α . The result is based on the structure of the string fourpoint function. Supersymmetry of these vertices is guaranteed by the supersymmetry of the F 4 term in the effective action. By this construction we establish the existence of an infinite number of supersymmetry...
متن کاملIntroduction to Superstring Theory
These four lectures, addressed to an audience of graduate students in experimental high energy physics, survey some of the basic concepts in string theory. The purpose is to convey a general sense of what string theory is and what it has achieved. Since the characteristic scale of string theory is expected to be close to the Planck scale, the structure of strings probably cannot be probed direc...
