Superstring Perturbation Theory and Ramond-Ramond Backgrounds
We consider perturbative Type II superstring theory in the covariant NSR formalism in the presence of NSNS and RR backgrounds. A concrete example that we have in mind is the geometry of D3-branes which in the near-horizon region is AdS5 × S5, although our methods may be applied to other backgrounds as well. We show how conformal invariance of the string path integral is maintained order by orde...
متن کاملThe calculation of Feynman diagrams in the superstring perturbation theory
The method of the perturbative calculation of the multi-loop amplitudes in the superstring theories is proposed. In this method the multi-loop superstring amplitudes are calculated from the equations that are none other than Ward identities. The above equations are derived from the requirement that the discussed amplitudes are independent from a choice of gauge of both the vierbein and the grav...
متن کاملIntroduction to Superstring Theory
In these lecture notes, an introduction to superstring theory is presented. Classical strings, covariant and light-cone quantization, supersymmetric strings, anomaly cancelation, compactification, T-duality, supersymmetry breaking, and threshold corrections to low-energy couplings are discussed. A brief introduction to nonperturbative duality symmetries is also included. Lectures presented at t...
متن کاملIntroduction to Superstring Theory
These four lectures, addressed to an audience of graduate students in experimental high energy physics, survey some of the basic concepts in string theory. The purpose is to convey a general sense of what string theory is and what it has achieved. Since the characteristic scale of string theory is expected to be close to the Planck scale, the structure of strings probably cannot be probed direc...
متن کاملSummability of Superstring Theory
Several arguments are given for the summability of the superstring perturbation series. Whereas the Schottky group coordinatization of moduli space may be used to provide refined estimates of large-order bosonic string amplitudes, the super-Schottky group variables define a measure for the supermoduli space integral which leads to upper bounds on superstring scattering amplitudes. The genus-dep...
