New Spacetime-Supersymmetric Methods for the Superstring
نویسنده
چکیده
Talk delivered at \Strings '95" Conference at the Univ. of Southern California In this talk, the new spacetime-supersymmetric description of the superstring is reviewed and some of its applications are described. These applications include the manifestly spacetime-supersymmetric calculation of scattering amplitudes, the construction of a super-Poincar e invariant open superstring eld theory, and the beta-function calculation of low-energy equations of motion in superspace. Parts of this work have been done in collaboration with deBoer,

Simpler superstring scattering
We give a new, manifestly spacetime-supersymmetric method for calculating superstring scattering amplitudes, using the ghost pyramid, that is simpler than all other known methods. No pictures nor non-vertex insertions are required other than the usual b and c ghosts of the bosonic string. We evaluate some tree and loop amplitudes as examples.

متن کاملSome Algebraic Symmetries of (2,2)-Supersymmetric Systems
The Hilbert spaces of supersymmetric systems admit symmetries which are often related to the topology and geometry of the (target) field-space. Here, we study certain (2,2)-supersymmetric systems in 2dimensional spacetime which are closely related to superstring models. They all turn out to posess some hitherto unexploidted and geometrically and topologically unobstructed symmetries, providing ...
متن کاملA New Description of the Superstring
This is a review of the new manifestly spacetime-supersymmetric description of the superstring. The new description contains N=2 worldsheet supersymmetry, and is related by a field redefinition to the standard RNS description. It is especially convenient for four-dimensional compactifications since SO(3,1) super-Poincaré invariance can be made manifest. Parts of this work have been done in coll...
متن کاملSuper p – Brane Theories and New Spacetime Superalgebras
We present a geometric formulation of super p–brane theories in which the Wess–Zumino term is (p + 1)–th order in the supersymmetric currents, and hence is manifestly supersymmetric. The currents are constructed using a supergroup manifold corresponding to a generalization of a superalgebra which we found sometime ago. Our results generalize Siegel's analogous reformulation of the Green–Schwarz...
متن کاملSuperstrings and WZNW Models
In a series of papers [1] we have presented a new approach to the old problem of the covariant quantization of the superstring. The fields of the classical superstring are x(z, z̄) and two (i=1,2) spacetime spinors θ(z, z̄) where m = 0, . . . , 9 is a vector index and α = 1, . . . , 16 the index of a real chiral spinor. A natural choice as action might seem to be the supersymmetric line element S...
