Type IIB Green-Schwarz superstring in plane wave Ramond-Ramond background
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct the covariant κ-symmetric superstring action for type IIB superstring on plane wave space supported by Ramond-Ramond background. The action is defined as a 2d sigma-model on the coset superspace. We fix the fermionic and bosonic light-cone gauges in the covariant Green-Schwarz superstring action and find the light-cone string Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian. The resulting light-cone gauge action is quadratic in both the bosonic and fermionic superstring 2d fields, and therefore, this model can be explicitly quantized. We also obtain a realization of the generators of the basic superalgebra in terms of the superstring 2d fields in the light-cone gauge.

Beyond the pp-Wave
In a certain kinematic limit, where the effects of spacetime curvature (and other background fields) greatly simplify, the light-cone gauge world-sheet action for a type IIB superstring on AdS5 × S reduces to that of a free field theory. It has been conjectured by Berenstein, Maldacena, and Nastase that the energy spectrum of this string theory matches the dimensions of operators in the appropr...
متن کاملConformal Field Theory for the Superstring in a Ramond-Ramond Plane Wave Background
A quantizable worldsheet action is constructed for the superstring in a supersymmetric plane wave background with Ramond-Ramond flux. The action is manifestly invariant under all isometries of the background and is an exact worldsheet conformal field theory. It has recently been recognized that the Penrose limit of the AdS 5 × S 5 background with Ramond-Ramond (R-R) flux is a supersymmetric pla...
متن کاملN=2 Superconformal Description of Superstring in Ramond-ramond Plane Wave Backgrounds
Using the U(4) formalism developed ten years ago, the worldsheet action for the super-string in Ramond-Ramond plane wave backgrounds is expressed in a manifestly N=(2,2) superconformally invariant manner. This simplifies the construction of consistent Ramond-Ramond plane wave backgrounds and eliminates the problems associated with light-cone interaction point operators. Although the constructio...
متن کاملN = 2 Sigma Models for Ramond - Ramond Backgrounds
Using the U(4) hybrid formalism, manifestly N=(2,2) worldsheet supersymmetric sigma models are constructed for the Type IIB superstring in Ramond-Ramond backgrounds. The Kahler potential in these N=2 sigma models depends on four chiral and antichiral bosonic superfields and two chiral and antichiral fermionic superfields. When the Kahler potential is quadratic, the model is a free conformal fie...
متن کاملQuantization of the Superstring in Ramond-Ramond Backgrounds
Sigma model actions are constructed for the Type II superstring compactified to four and six dimensional curved backgrounds which can contain non-vanishing Ramond-Ramond fields. These actions are N=2 worldsheet superconformally invariant and can be covariantly quantized preserving manifest spacetime supersymmetry. They are constructed using a hybrid version of superstring variables which combin...
