Quantization of the Type II Superstring in a Curved Six-Dimensional Background
نویسنده
چکیده
A sigma model action with N=2 D=6 superspace variables is constructed for the Type II superstring compactified to six curved dimensions with Ramond-Ramond flux. The action can be quantized since the sigma model is linear when the six-dimensional spacetime is flat. When the six-dimensional spacetime is AdS3 ×S , the action reduces to one found earlier with Vafa and Witten.

Quantization of the Superstring in Ramond-Ramond Backgrounds
Sigma model actions are constructed for the Type II superstring compactified to four and six dimensional curved backgrounds which can contain non-vanishing Ramond-Ramond fields. These actions are N=2 worldsheet superconformally invariant and can be covariantly quantized preserving manifest spacetime supersymmetry. They are constructed using a hybrid version of superstring variables which combin...
متن کاملTen-Dimensional Supergravity Constraints from the Pure Spinor Formalism for the Superstring
It has recently been shown that the ten-dimensional superstring can be quantized using the BRST operator Q = ∮ λdα where λ α is a pure spinor satisfying λγλ = 0 and dα is the fermionic supersymmetric derivative. In this paper, the pure spinor version of superstring theory is formulated in a curved supergravity background and it is shown that nilpotency and holomorphicity of the pure spinor BRST...
متن کاملDuality Symmetric Quantization of Superstring
A general covariant quantization of superparticle, Green-Schwarz superstring and a supermembrane with manifest supersymmetry and duality symmetry is proposed. This quantization provides a natural quantum mechanical description of curved BPStype backgrounds related to the ultra-short supersymmetry multiplets. Half-size commuting and anticommuting Killing spinors admitted by such backgrounds in q...
متن کاملSuper - 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 کاملCovariant Quantization of the Superstring
After reviewing the Green-Schwarz superstring using the approach of Siegel, the su-perstring is covariantly quantized by constructing a BRST operator from the fermionic constraints and a bosonic pure spinor ghost variable. Physical massless vertex operators are constructed and, for the first time, N-point tree amplitudes are computed in a manifestly ten-dimensional super-Poincaré covariant mann...
