On Four-Dimensional Gauge Theories from Type II Superstrings

We study the four-dimensional gauge theories which are associated with classical vacua of the type II superstring, i.e. which correspond to a superconformal field theory on the world sheet. Using the fact that gauge symmetry arises from a supersymmetric affine Kac-Moody algebra, and demanding unitarity of the underlying world-sheet field theory, we show that no such vacua can yield the particle...

Type-II Superstrings and New Spacetime Superalgebras

We present a geometric formulation of type-IIA and -IIB superstring theories in which the WessZumino term is second order in the supersymmetric currents. The currents are constructed using supergroup manifolds corresponding to superalgebras: the IIA superalgebra derived from M-algebra and the IIB superalgebra obtained by a T-duality transformation of the IIA superalgebra. We find that a slight ...

On the Covariant Quantization of Type II Superstrings

In a series of papers Grassi, Policastro, Porrati and van Nieuwenhuizen have introduced a new method to covariantly quantize the GS-superstring by constructing a resolution of the pure spinor constraint of Berkovits’ approach. Their latest version is based on a gauged WZNW model and a definition of physical states in terms of relative cohomology groups. We first put the off-shell formulation of...

The Cosmology of M - Theory and Type II Superstrings

We review cosmological solutions of type II superstrings and M-theory, emphasizing the role of non-vanishing Ramond form backgrounds. Compactifications on flat and, more generally, maximally symmetric spatial subspaces are presented. We give a physical discussion of both inflating and subluminally expanding cosmological solutions of such theories and explore their singularity structure. An expl...

Maximally Symmetric Cosmological Solutions of Type Ii Superstrings

We study maximally symmetric cosmological solutions of type II supersymmetric strings in the presence of the exact, SL(2,Z)-invariant, higher-curvature corrections to the lowest order effective action. We find that, unlike the case of type IIA theories, de Sitter solutions exist, at all orders in α, for type IIB superstrings when non-perturbative D-instanton effects are included on the basis of...
