Nonlinear gauge invariance and WZW-like action for NS-NS superstring field theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We complete the construction of a gauge-invariant action for NS-NS superstring field theory in the large Hilbert space begun in arXiv:1305.3893 by giving a closedform expression for the action and nonlinear gauge transformations. The action has the WZW-like form and vertices are given by a pure-gauge solution of NS heterotic string field theory in the small Hilbert space of right movers.

The Ramond Sector of Open Superstring Field Theory
Although the equations of motion for the Neveu-Schwarz (NS) and Ramond (R) sectors of open superstring field theory can be covariantly expressed in terms of one NS and one R string field, picture-changing problems prevent the construction of an action involving these two string fields. However, a consistent action can be constructed by dividing the NS and R states into three string fields which...
متن کاملOn Ghost Structure of Vacuum Superstring Field Theory
After discussing the general form of the kinetic operator Q̂ around the tachyon vacuum, we determine the specific form of the pure-ghost kinetic operator Q̂ by requiring the twist invariance of the action. We obtain a novel result that the Grassmann-even piece Qeven of Q̂ must act differently on GSO(+) sector and on GSO(−) sector to preserve the twist invariance, and show that this structure is cr...
متن کاملWZW-like Action for Heterotic String Field Theory
We complete the construction of the Neveu-Schwarz sector of heterotic string field theory begun in hep-th/0406212 by giving a closed-form expression for the action and gauge transformations. Just as the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) action for open superstring field theory can be constructed from pure-gauge fields in bosonic open string field theory, our heterotic string field theory action is const...
متن کاملSuperselection Sectors of So(n ) Wess-zumino-witten Models
The superselection structure of so(N) WZW models is investigated from the point of view of algebraic quantum field theory. At level 1 it turns out that the observable algebras of the WZW theory can be constructed in terms of even CAR algebras. This fact allows to give a formulation of these models close to the DHR framework. Localized endomorphisms are constructed explicitly in terms of Bogoliu...
متن کاملNS-NS sector of closed superstring field theory
We give a construction for a general class of vertices in superstring field theory which include integration over bosonic moduli as well as the required picture changing insertions. We apply this procedure to find a covariant action for the NS-NS sector of Type II closed superstring field theory.
