Chiral fermion action with (8,0) worldsheet supersymmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose an action describing chiral fermions with an arbitrary gauge group and with manifest (8, 0) worldsheet supersymmetry. The form of the action is inspired by and adapted for completing the twistor-like formulation of the D = 10 heterotic superstring.

متن کاملCentral charge reduction and spacetime statistics in the fractional superstring.
Fractional superstrings in the tensor-product formulation experience “internal projections” which reduce their effective central charges. Simple expressions for the characters of the resulting effective worldsheet theory are found. All states in the effective theory can be consistently assigned definite spacetime statistics. The projection to the effective theory is shown to be described by the...
متن کاملOverlap formula for the chiral multiplet
The vacuum overlap formalism is extended to describe the supersymmetric multiplet of a Weyl fermion, a complex scalar boson and an auxiliary field in the case without interaction, based on the fact that supersymmetry can be maintained upto quadratic terms by introducing bosonic species doublers. We also obtain a local action which describes the chiral multiplet and discuss its symmetry structur...
متن کامل1 0 D ec 2 01 2 The Ghost Condensate in N = 1 Supergravity
We present the theory of a supersymmetric ghost condensate coupled to N = 1 supergravity. This is accomplished using a general formalism for constructing locally supersymmetric higher-derivative chiral superfield actions. The theory admits a ghost condensate vacuum in de Sitter spacetime. Expanded around this vacuum, the scalar sector of the theory is shown to be ghost-free with no spatial grad...
