Higher Genus Superstring Amplitudes From the Geometry of Moduli Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that the higher genus 4-point superstring amplitude is strongly constrained by the geometry of moduli space of Riemann surfaces. A detailed analysis leads to a natural proposal which satisfies several conditions. The result is based on the recently derived Siegel induced metric on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces and on combinatorial products of determinants of holomorphic abelian differentials.

Summability of Superstring Theory
Several arguments are given for the summability of the superstring perturbation series. Whereas the Schottky group coordinatization of moduli space may be used to provide refined estimates of large-order bosonic string amplitudes, the super-Schottky group variables define a measure for the supermoduli space integral which leads to upper bounds on superstring scattering amplitudes. The genus-dep...
متن کاملCern-th.6213/91 Geometry and Quantum Symmetries of Superstring Vacua
We report on some recent progress which has been made in the understanding of general features of superstring compacti cations. The following aspects are discussed: special geometry of the moduli space of (2,2) vacua, target-space duality symmetries, di erential equations for the periods of holomorphic three-forms, and higher loop (genus) string corrections to the tree-level e ective action thr...
متن کاملHypermultiplets and Topological Strings
The c-map relates classical hypermultiplet moduli spaces in compactifications of type II strings on a Calabi-Yau threefold to vector multiplet moduli spaces via a further compactification on a circle. We give an off-shell description of the c-map in N = 2 superspace. The superspace Lagrangian for the hypermultiplets is a single function directly related to the prepotential of special geometry, ...
متن کاملCovariant Multiloop Superstring Amplitudes
Talk given at Strings 2004 In these proceedings, the multiloop amplitude prescription using the super-Poincaré invariant pure spinor formalism for the superstring is reviewed. Unlike the RNS prescription , there is no sum over spin structures and surface terms coming from the boundary of moduli space can be ignored. Massless N-point multiloop amplitudes vanish for N < 4, which implies (with two...
متن کاملA New Approach to the Green-schwarz Superstring
By replacing two of the bosonic scalar superfields of the N=2 string with fermionic scalar superfields (which shifts d critical from (2,2) to (9,1)), a quadratic action for the ten-dimensional Green-Schwarz su-perstring is obtained. Using the usual N=2 super-Virasoro ghosts, one can construct a BRST operator, picture-changing operators, and covariant vertex operators for the Green-Schwarz super...
