Spectrum of Two-Dimensional (Super)Gravity∗
We review the BRST analysis of the system of a (super)conformal matter coupled to 2D (super)gravity. The spectrum and its operator realization are reported. In particular, the operators associated with the states of nonzero ghost number are given. We also discuss the ground ring structure of the super-Liouville coupled to ĉ = 1 matter. In appendices, hermiticities, states for c < 1 conformal ma...
متن کاملBRST COHOMOLOGY AND PHYSICAL STATES IN 2D SUPERGRAVITY COUPLED TO ĉ ≤ 1 MATTER
We study the BRST cohomology for two-dimensional supergravity coupled to ĉ ≤ 1 superconformal matter in the conformal gauge. The super-Liouville and superconformal matters are represented by free scalar fields φ and φ and fermions ψ and ψ , respectively, with suitable background charges, and these are coupled in such a way that the BRST charge is nilpotent. The physical states of the full theor...
متن کاملDiscrete States in Two-Dimensional Quantum Gravity∗
We review the recent developments in the two-dimensional (super)gravity coupled to c(ĉ) ≤ 1 (super)conformal matter in the conformal gauge. Starting from a pedagogical account of the conformal anomaly in such a system, we show how the system is transformed into the representation in terms of the (free) Liouville field. Some perturbative justification is given to this procedure. The physical sta...
متن کاملSo(2,c) Invariant Ring Structure of Brst Cohomology and Singular Vectors in 2d Gravity with C < 1 Matter
We consider BRST quantized 2D gravity coupled to conformal matter with arbitrary central charge c M = c(p, q) < 1 in the conformal gauge. We apply a Lian-Zuckerman SO(2, C I) ((p, q)-dependent) rotation to Witten's c M = 1 chiral ground ring. We show that the ring structure generated by the (relative BRST cohomology) discrete states in the (matter ⊗ Liouville ⊗ ghosts) Fock module may be obtain...
متن کاملOn the Brst Operator Structure of the N = 2 String
The BRST operator cohomology of N = 2 2d supergravity coupled to matter is presented. Descent equations for primary su-perfields of the matter sector are derived. We find one copy of the cohomology at ghost number one, two independent copies at ghost number two, and conjecture that there is a copy at ghost number three. The N = 2 string has a twisted N = 4 super-conformal symmetry generated by ...
