Off-shell symmetry algebra of the AdS4 × CP superstring
نویسنده
چکیده
By direct calculation in classical theory we derive the central extension of the off-shell symmetry algebra for the string propagating in AdS4 ×CP. It turns out to be the same as in the case of the AdS5 × S string. We also elaborate on the κ-symmetry gauge and explain, how it can be chosen in a way which does not break bosonic symmetries. ∗Email: [email protected]

Superstrings on AdS4 × CP as a Coset Sigma-model
According to the recent proposal by Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena the N = 6 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory in three dimensions has a ’t Hooft limit whose holographic dual is described by type IIA superstings on AdS4 × CP background. We argue that the Green-Schwarz action for type IIA string theory on AdS4×CP with κ-symmetry partially fixed can be understood as a coset sigma-model...
متن کاملsuperspace for the type IIA superstring and D-branes
We lift the bosonic AdS4 × CP 3 solution of type IIA supergravity preserving 24 supersymmetries to a D = 10 superspace which has 32 Grassmann–odd directions. The type IIA superspace is obtained from D = 11 via dimensional reduction of the coset superspace OSp(8|4)/SO(7) × SO(1, 3) by realizing the latter as a Hopf fibration over the former. This construction generalizes to superspace the Hopf f...
متن کاملOff-Shell Supersymmetry versus Hermiticity in Superstrings.
Superstring theory is the only known renormalizable quantum theory of gravity, and spacetime supersymmetry plays a crucial role in removing the divergences. Spacetime supersymmetry also plays a crucial role in the recent conjectures [1] of strong-weak duality in superstring theory. However, spacetime supersymmetry is only an on-shell symmetry in the conventional N 1 RamondNeveu-Schwarz (RNS) ...
متن کاملNear Flat Space limit of strings on AdS 4 × CP 3
The non-linear nature of string theory on non-trivial backgrounds related to the AdS/CFT correspondence suggests to look for simplifications. Two such simplifications proved to be useful in studying string theory. These are the pp-wave limit which describes point-like strings and the so called “near flat space” limit which connects two different sectors of string theory – pp-waves and “giant ma...
