The Ramond Sector of Open Superstring Field Theory
Although the equations of motion for the Neveu-Schwarz (NS) and Ramond (R) sectors of open superstring field theory can be covariantly expressed in terms of one NS and one R string field, picture-changing problems prevent the construction of an action involving these two string fields. However, a consistent action can be constructed by dividing the NS and R states into three string fields which...
متن کاملSuperstring 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 کاملConformal Field Theory for the Superstring in a Ramond-Ramond Plane Wave Background
A quantizable worldsheet action is constructed for the superstring in a supersymmetric plane wave background with Ramond-Ramond flux. The action is manifestly invariant under all isometries of the background and is an exact worldsheet conformal field theory. It has recently been recognized that the Penrose limit of the AdS 5 × S 5 background with Ramond-Ramond (R-R) flux is a supersymmetric pla...
متن کاملReview of Open Superstring Field Theory
I review the construction of an action for open superstring field theory which does not suffer from the contact term problems of other approaches. This action resembles a Wess-Zumino-Witten action and can be constructed in a manifestly D=4 super-Poincaré covariant manner. This review is based on lectures given at the ICTP LatinAmerican String School in Mexico City and the Komaba 2000 Workshop i...
متن کاملKinks of open superstring field theory
We construct approximate kink solutions of supersymmetric open string field theory at lowest level when non-local operators in the tachyon effective action are fully taken into account. To this purpose we derive two duplication formulæ for products of incomplete gamma functions, which determine the level of approximation of the solutions. The time kink is an instanton of the Euclidean theory wi...
