WZW-like Action for Heterotic String Field Theory
We complete the construction of the Neveu-Schwarz sector of heterotic string field theory begun in hep-th/0406212 by giving a closed-form expression for the action and gauge transformations. Just as the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) action for open superstring field theory can be constructed from pure-gauge fields in bosonic open string field theory, our heterotic string field theory action is const...
متن کاملHeterotic String Field Theory Yuji
We construct the Neveu-Schwarz sector of heterotic string field theory using the large Hilbert space of the superghosts and the multi-string products of bosonic closed string field theory. No picture-changing operators are required as in Wess-Zumino-Witten-like open superstring field theory. The action exhibits a novel kind of nonpolynomiality: in addition to terms necessary to cover missing re...
متن کاملTopics in Two-Dimensional Field Theory and Heterotic String Theory
We study a myriad of topics related to string theories in two dimensions and/or to heterotic string theories. In chapter 2, we use the duality of two-dimensional string theory with matrix models to study arbitrary time-dependent backgrounds. As an example, we study the case of a Fermi droplet cosmology and analyze properties of the coordinates in which the metric is trivial; we also comment on ...
متن کاملPartition Functions for Heterotic Wzw Conformal Field Theories
Thus far in the search for, and classification of, 'physical' modular invariant partition functions N LR χ L χ * R the attention has been focused on the symmetric case where the holomorphic and anti-holomorphic sectors, and hence the characters χ L and χ R , are associated with the same Kac-Moody algebrasˆg L = ˆ g R and levels k L = k R. In this paper we consider the more general possibility w...
متن کاملHeterotic Twistor-String Theory
We reformulate twistor-string theory as a heterotic string based on a twisted (0,2) model. The path integral localizes on holomorphic maps, while the (0,2) moduli naturally correspond to the states of N = 4 super Yang-Mills and conformal supergravity under the Penrose transform. We show how the standard twistor-string formulae of scattering amplitudes as integrals over the space of curves in su...
