Harmonic Superspaces from Superstrings

چکیده
We derive harmonic superspaces for N = 2, 3, 4 SYM theory in four dimensions from superstring theory. The pure spinors in ten dimensions are dimensionally reduced and yield the harmonic coordinates. Two anticommuting BRST charges implement Grassmann analyticity and harmonic analyticity. The string field theory action produces the action and field equations for N=3 SYM theory in harmonic superspace.

Double-Spinor Superstrings on Coset Superspaces
The double-spinor formalism, proposed by Aisaka and Kazama, provides a basis for the pure-spinor formalism, which allows manifestly super-Poincaré covariant quantization of superstrings. We extend it to the case of backgrounds realized by coset superspaces. A general method constructing reparametrization invariant action is given by using two concrete examples, the flat space-time and AdS5 × S....

متن کاملOn Harmonic Superspaces and Superconformal Fields in Four Dimensions
Representations of four-dimensional superconformal groups on harmonic superfields are discussed. It is shown how various short representations can be obtained by parabolic induction. It is also shown that such short multiplets may admit several descriptions as superfields on different superspaces. In particular, this is the case for on-shell massless superfields. This allows a description of sh...
متن کاملConformal Sigma-Models on Supercoset Targets
We investigate the quantum behaviour of sigma models on coset superspaces G/H defined by Z2n gradings of G. We find that, whenever G has vanishing Killing form, there is a choice of WZ term which renders the model quantum conformal, at least to one loop. The choice coincides with that for which the model is known to be classically integrable. This generalizes results for models associated to Z4...

The work proposes a general background of the theory of field interactions and strings in spaces with higher order anisotropy. Our approach proceeds by developing the concept of higher order anisotropic superspace which unifies the logical and mathematical aspects of modern Kaluza– Klein theories and generalized Lagrange and Finsler geometry and leads to modelling of physical processes on highe...
