De Rham Cohomology of the Supermanifolds and Superstring BRST Cohomology
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that the BRST operator of Neveu-Schwarz-Ramond superstring is closely related to de Rham differential on the moduli space of decorated super-Riemann surfaces P. We develop formalism where superstring amplitudes are computed via integration of some differential forms over a section of P over the super moduli space M. We show that the result of integration does not depend on the choice of section when all the states are BRST physical. Our approach is based on the geometrical theory of integration on supermanifolds of which we give a short review.

BRST Reduction of the chiral Hecke Algebra
We explore the relationship between de Rham and Lie algebra cohomologies in the finite dimensional and affine settings. In particular, given a ĝκmodule that arises as the global sections of a twisted D-module on the affine flag manifold, we show how to compute its BRST reduction modulo n(K) using the de Rham cohomology of the restrictions to N(K) orbits. A similar relationship holds between the...

We explore the relationship between de Rham and Lie algebra cohomologies in the finite dimensional and affine settings. In particular, given a ĝκ-module that arises as the global sections of a twisted D-module on the affine flag manifold, we show how to compute its untwisted BRST reduction modulo n(K) using the de Rham cohomology of the restrictions to N(K) orbits. A similar relationship holds ...

متن کاملOn the BRST Cohomology of Superstrings with/without Pure Spinors
We replace our earlier condition that physical states of the superstring have non-negative grading by the requirement that they are analytic in a new real commuting constant t which we associate with the central charge of the underlying Kac-Moody superalgebra. The analogy with the twisted N=2 SYM theory suggests that our covariant superstring is a twisted version of another formulation with an ...
متن کاملNew Geometrical Approach to Superstrings
We present a new geometrical approach to superstrings based on the geometrical theory of integration on supermanifolds. This approach provides an effective way to calculate multi-loop superstring amplitudes for arbitrary backgrounds. It makes possible to calculate amplitudes for the physical states defined as BRST cohomology classes using arbitrary representatives. Since the new formalism does ...
