Annulus Amplitudes in the Minimal Superstring
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the annulus amplitudes in the (2, 4) minimal superstring theory using the continuum worldsheet approach. Our results reproduce the semiclassical behavior of the wavefunctions of FZZT-branes recently studied in hep-th/0412315 using the dual matrix model. We also study the multi-point functions of neutral FZZT-branes and find the agreement between their semiclassical limit and the worldsheet annulus calculation.

Annulus Amplitudes and ZZ Branes in Minimal String Theory
We study the annulus amplitudes of (p, q) minimal string theory and their geometrical interpretation in terms of the Riemann surface Mp,q that emerges from the FZZT branes. Focusing on the ZZ-FZZT annulus amplitude as a target-space probe of the ZZ brane, we use it to confirm that the ZZ branes are localized in the strong-coupling region. We also show that the deformation to Mp,q due to the pre...
متن کاملMultiloop Superstring Amplitudes from Non-minimal Pure Spinor Formalism
Using the non-minimal version of the pure spinor formalism, manifestly super-Poincaré covariant superstring scattering amplitudes can be computed as in topological string theory without the need of picture-changing operators. The only subtlety comes from regularizing the functional integral over the pure spinor ghosts. In this paper, it is shown how to regularize this functional integral in a B...
متن کاملSome Superstring Amplitude Computations with the Non-minimal Pure Spinor Formalism
We use the non-minimal pure spinor formalism to compute in a super-Poincaré covariant manner the four-point massless one and two-loop open superstring amplitudes, and the gauge anomaly of the six-point one-loop amplitude. All of these amplitudes are expressed as integrals of ten-dimensional superfields in a “pure spinor superspace” which involves five θ coordinates covariantly contracted with t...
متن کاملTESE DE DOUTORAMENTO IFT–T.007/08 Superstring Scattering Amplitudes with the Pure Spinor Formalism
This thesis discusses how the pure spinor formalism can be used to efficiently compute superstring scattering amplitudes. We emphasize the pure spinor superspace form of the kinematic factors, where the simplifying features of this language have allowed an explicit relation among the massless four-point amplitudes at tree-level, oneand twoloops to be found. We show how these identities elegantl...
متن کاملRegularization of superstring amplitudes and a cancellation of divergences in superstring theory
For a calculation of divergent fermion string amplitudes a regularization procedure invariant under the supermodular group is constructed. By this procedure superstring amplitudes of an arbitrary genus are calculated using both partition functions and superfield vacuum correlators computed early. A finiteness of superstring amplitudes and related topics are discussed. E-mail address: danilov@th...
