Vertex Operators for the Supermembrane and Background Field Matrix Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We derive the vertex operators that are expected to govern the emission of the massless d = 11 supermultiplet from the supermembrane in the light cone gauge. Our results immediately imply the linear coupling of matrix theory to an arbitrary supergravity background to all orders in anticommuting coordinates. Finally we address the definition of n-point tree level and one-loop scattering amplitudes. The resulting 3-point tree level amplitudes turn out to agree with d = 11 supergravity and are completely fixed by supersymmetry and the existence of a normalizable ground state.

An Introduction to the Quantum Supermembrane
We review aspects of quantisation of the 11-dimensional su-permembrane world volume theory. We explicitly construct vertex operators for the massless states and study interactions of supermembranes. The open supermembrane and its vertex operators are discussed. We show how our results have direct applications to Matrix theory by appropriate regularisation of the supermembrane.

We derive the vertex operators that are expected to govern the emission of the massless d = 11 supermultiplet from the supermembrane in the light cone gauge. We demonstrate that they form a representation of the supersymmetry algebra and reduce to the type-IIA superstring vertex operators under double-dimensional reduction, as well as to the vertices of the d = 11 superparticle in the point-par...

By replacing ten-dimensional pure spinors with eleven-dimensional pure spinors, the formalism recently developed for covariantly quantizing the d=10 superparticle and super-string is extended to the d=11 superparticle and supermembrane. In this formalism, kappa symmetry is replaced by a BRST-like invariance using the nilpotent operator Q = λ α d α where d α is the worldvolume variable correspon...
