BRST cohomology of the critical W4 string
We study the cohomology of the critical W 4 string using the W 4 BRST charge in a special basis in which it contains three separately nilpotent BRST charges. This allows us to obtain the physical operators in three steps. In the first step we obtain the cohomology associated to a spin-four constraint only, and it contains operators of the c = 4 5 W 3 minimal model. In the next step, where the s...
متن کاملChiral Brst Cohomology of N=2 Strings at Arbitrary Ghost and Picture Number *
We compute the BRST cohomology of the holomorphic part of the N=2 string at arbitrary ghost and picture number. We confirm the expectation that the relative cohomology at non-zero momentum consists of a single massless state in each picture. The absolute cohomology is obtained by an independent method based on homological algebra. For vanishing momentum, the relative and absolute cohomologies b...
متن کاملOn the Brst Operator Structure of the N = 2 String
The BRST operator cohomology of N = 2 2d supergravity coupled to matter is presented. Descent equations for primary su-perfields of the matter sector are derived. We find one copy of the cohomology at ghost number one, two independent copies at ghost number two, and conjecture that there is a copy at ghost number three. The N = 2 string has a twisted N = 4 super-conformal symmetry generated by ...
متن کاملN=1 Sym Action and Brst Cohomology
The relation between BRST cohomology and the N=1 supersym-metric Yang-Mills action in 4 dimensions is discussed. In particular, it is shown that both off and on shell N=1 SYM actions are related to a lower dimensional field polynomial by solving the descent equations , which is obtained from the cohomological analysis of linearized Slavnov-Taylor operator B, in the framework of Algebraic Renorm...
متن کاملPicture Changing Operators in Closed Fermionic String Field Theory
We discuss appropriate arrangement of picture changing operators required to construct gauge invariant interaction vertices involving Neveu-Schwarz states in heterotic and closed superstring field theory. The operators required for this purpose are shown to satisfy a set of descent equations. ⋆ e-mail addresses: [email protected], [email protected] 1 A closed bosonic string field theory b...
