Cosmic Superstring Scattering in Backgrounds
نویسنده
چکیده
We generalize the calculation of cosmic superstring reconnection probability to non-trivial backgrounds. This is done by modeling cosmic strings as wound tachyon modes in the 0B theory, and the spacetime effective action is then used to couple this to background fields. Simple examples are given including trivial and warped compactifications. Generalization to (p, q) strings is discussed.

Super - Poincaré Covariant Quantization of the Superstring
Using pure spinors, the superstring is covariantly quantized. For the first time, mass-less vertex operators are constructed and scattering amplitudes are computed in a manifestly ten-dimensional super-Poincaré covariant manner. Quantizable non-linear sigma model actions are constructed for the superstring in curved backgrounds, including the
متن کاملCosmic microwave background polarization, Faraday rotation, and stochastic gravity-waves backgrounds
A magnetic field, coherent over the horizon size at the decoupling and strong enough to rotate the polarization plane of the CMBR, can be generated from the electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations amplified by the space-time evolution of the dilaton coupling. The possible relevance of this result for superstring inspired cosmological models is discussed. Particular attention will be paid to the con...
متن کاملN=2 Superconformal Description of Superstring in Ramond-ramond Plane Wave Backgrounds
Using the U(4) formalism developed ten years ago, the worldsheet action for the super-string in Ramond-Ramond plane wave backgrounds is expressed in a manifestly N=(2,2) superconformally invariant manner. This simplifies the construction of consistent Ramond-Ramond plane wave backgrounds and eliminates the problems associated with light-cone interaction point operators. Although the constructio...

In the context of brane world scenario, cosmic superstrings can be formed in D-brane annihilation at the end of the brane inflationary era. This cosmic superstring network has a scaling solution and the characteristic scale of the network is proportional to the square root of the reconnection probability.
