Supersymmetry Algebra of the Superstring
The free action for the massless sector of the Type II superstring was recently constructed using closed RNS superstring field theory. The supersymmetry transformations of this action are shown to satisfy an N=2 D=10 SUSY algebra with Ramond-Ramond
متن کاملSupersymmetric dyonic black holes of IIA string on Six Torus
A class of four-dimensional static supersymmetric black hole solutions of effective supergravity Lagrangian of IIA superstring compactified on T 6 is constructed by explicitly solving Killing spinor equations (KSEs). These solutions are dyonic black holes parametrized by four charges, with dilaton and diagonal internal metric components as the only non-zero scalar fields, and preserve 18 of N =...
متن کاملQuantization of the Superstring in Ramond-Ramond Backgrounds
Sigma model actions are constructed for the Type II superstring compactified to four and six dimensional curved backgrounds which can contain non-vanishing Ramond-Ramond fields. These actions are N=2 worldsheet superconformally invariant and can be covariantly quantized preserving manifest spacetime supersymmetry. They are constructed using a hybrid version of superstring variables which combin...
متن کاملDirichlet Branes and Ramond-Ramond charges.
We show that D-branes, extended objects defined by mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions, break half the supersymmetries of the type II superstring and carry a complete set of electric and magnetic Ramond-Ramond charges. The product of the electric and magnetic charges is a single Dirac unit, and the quantum of charge is that required by string duality. This is strong evidence that D-bran...
متن کاملConformal Field Theory Of AdS Background With Ramond-Ramond Flux
We review a formalism of superstring quantization with manifest six-dimensional spacetime supersymmetry, and apply it to AdS 3 × S 3 backgrounds with Ramond-Ramond flux. The resulting description is a conformal field theory based on a sigma model whose target space is a certain supergroup SU In the RNS formulation of superstring theory, powerful conformal field theory methods of computation are...
