On The BV Formulation Of Boundary Superstring Field Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) formulation of boundary superstring field theory. The superstring field action is defined in terms of a closed one-form in the space of couplings, and we compute it explicitly for exactly solvable tachyon perturbations. We also argue that the superstring field action defined in this way is the partition function on the disc, in accord with a previous proposal.

Green-Schwarz Superstrings on AdS3 and the Boundary N = 4 Superconformal Algebra
We study the hybrid formulation of Green-Schwarz superstrings on AdS3 with NS flux and the boundary N = 4 superconformal algebra. We show the equivalence between the NSR and GS superstrings by a field redefinition. The boundary N = 4 superconformal algebra is realized by the free fields of the affine Lie superalgebra A(1|1)(1). We also consider the light-cone gauge and obtain the N = 4 superLio...
متن کاملOn the general action of boundary (super)string field theory
We reconstruct boundary superstring field theory via boundary states. After a minor modification of the fermionic two-form, all the equations needed for Batalin-Vilkovisky formulation are simply represented by closed string oscillators and the proof of gauge invariance is drastically simplified. The general form of the action of boundary superstring field theory is also obtained without any ass...
متن کاملResolving Witten’s superstring field theory
We regulate Witten’s open superstring field theory by replacing the picturechanging insertion at the midpoint with a contour integral of picture changing insertions over the half-string overlaps of the cubic vertex. The resulting product between string fields is non-associative, but we provide a solution to the A∞ relations defining all higher vertices. The result is an explicit covariant super...
متن کاملProposal for Background Independent Berkovits ’ Superstring Field Theory
In this paper we would like to propose the background independent formulation of Berkovits' superstring field theory. Then we will show that the solution of equation of motion of this theory leads to the Berkovits' superstring field theory formulated around particular CFT background.
متن کاملNormalization of the Boundary Superstring Field Theory Action
The normalization of the boundary superstring field theory action is determined by computing the near on-shell amplitude involving three gauge fields.

In the recent past there has been some progress in understanding the behaviour of the t...
