Dimensionless Coupling of Superstrings to Supersymmetric Gauge Theories and Scale Invariant Superstring Actions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We construct new superstring actions which are distinguished from the standard superstrings by being space-time scale invariant. Like standard superstrings, they are also reparametrization invariant, space-time supersymmetric, and invariant under local scale transformations of the world sheet. We discuss two possible scenarios in which these actions could play a significant role, in particular one which involves their coupling to supersymmetric gauge theories. e-mail address: [email protected] e-mail address: [email protected]

Supersymmetric Wilson Loops, Superstring-like Observables, and the Natural Coupling of Superstrings To Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
We obtain an explicit expression for the supersymmetric Wilson loop in terms of chiral superfields and supercurrents in superspace. The result turns out to be different from what one would expects from the simple replacement of Lie algebraic valued connection in the exponent with the corresponding super-Lie algebraic one. In the abelian supersymmetric gauge theories, generalizing the super-part...
متن کاملOn Four-Dimensional Gauge Theories from Type II Superstrings
We study the four-dimensional gauge theories which are associated with classical vacua of the type II superstring, i.e. which correspond to a superconformal field theory on the world sheet. Using the fact that gauge symmetry arises from a supersymmetric affine Kac-Moody algebra, and demanding unitarity of the underlying world-sheet field theory, we show that no such vacua can yield the particle...
متن کاملSuperconformal Gauge Theories and Non-Critical Superstrings
We consider effective actions for six-dimensional non-critical superstrings. We show that the addition of N units of R-R flux and of Nf space-time filling D5branes produces AdS5 × S1 solutions with curvature comparable to the string scale. These solutions have the right structure to be dual to N = 1 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theories with Nf flavors. We further suggest bounds on the mass-squar...
متن کاملUltraviolet Fixed Points in Gauge and SUSY Field Theories in Extra Dimensions
We consider gauge field theories in D > 4 following the Wilson RG approach and show that they possess the ultraviolet fixed points where the gauge coupling is dimensionless in any space-time dimension. At the fixed point the anomalous dimensions of the field and vertex operators are known exactly. These fixed points are nonperturbative and correspond to conformal invariant theories. The same ph...
متن کاملGauge Coupling Unification in Superstring Derived Standard–like Models
I discuss gauge coupling unification in a class of superstring standard–like models, which are derived in the free fermionic formulation. Recent calculations indicate that the superstring unification scale is at O(10GeV ) while the minimal supersymmetric standard model is consistent with LEP data if the unification scale is at O(10)GeV . A generic feature of the superstring standard–like models...
