Covariant Multiloop Superstring Amplitudes
Talk given at Strings 2004 In these proceedings, the multiloop amplitude prescription using the super-Poincaré invariant pure spinor formalism for the superstring is reviewed. Unlike the RNS prescription , there is no sum over spin structures and surface terms coming from the boundary of moduli space can be ignored. Massless N-point multiloop amplitudes vanish for N < 4, which implies (with two...
متن کاملMotivic Multiple Zeta Values and Superstring Amplitudes
The structure of tree–level open and closed superstring amplitudes is analyzed. For the open superstring amplitude we find a striking and elegant form, which allows to disentangle its α–expansion into several contributions accounting for different classes of multiple zeta values. This form is bolstered by the decomposition of motivic multiple zeta values, i.e. the latter encapsulate the α–expan...
متن کاملModular Forms and Three Loop Superstring Amplitudes
We study a proposal of D’Hoker and Phong for the chiral superstring measure for genus three. A minor modification of the constraints they impose on certain Siegel modular forms leads to a unique solution. We reduce the problem of finding these modular forms, which depend on an even spin structure, to finding a modular form of weight 8 on a certain subgroup of the modular group. An explicit form...
متن کاملLorentz-covariant Green-schwarz Superstring Amplitudes
In a recent paper, the BRST formalism for the gauge-fixed N=2 twistor-string was used to calculate Green-Schwarz supersring scattering amplitudes with an arbitrary number of loops and external massless states. Although the gauge-fixing procedure preserved the worldsheet N=2 superconformal invariance of the twistor-string, it broke the target-space SO(9,1) super-Poincaré invariance down to an SU...
متن کاملRemarks on Superstring Amplitudes in Higher Genus
Very recently, Grushevsky continued D’Hoker and Phong’s program of finding the chiral superstring measure from first principles by constructing modular forms satisfying certain factorization constraints. He has proposed an ansatz in genus 4 and conjectured a possible formula for the superstring measure in any genus, subject to the condition that certain modular forms admit holomorphic roots. In...
