The Canonical Structure of the Manifestly Supersymmetric String∗
نویسنده
چکیده
Both the Green-Schwarz and Siegel strings are presented in canonical form. Both systems are shown to describe the same number of physical degrees of freedom. The apparent extra symmetries of the Siegel string are not true symmetries but are combinations of second-class constraints. A formal quantization procedure is outlined and the problems of quantization are discussed.

متن کاملA note on chiral fermions and heterotic strings
An off-shell, manifestly (8, 0) worldsheet supersymmetric, formulation of a multiplet describing physical chiral fermions is given. The multiplet can be used to complete the doubly supersymmetric (twistorlike) action for the heterotic string.
متن کاملSuperspace Geometry of Fermionic Strings
We calculate the effective action in Polyakov's fermionic string theory in a manifestly supersymmetric formalism, including the effects of string boundaries. Supersymmetry causes divergence cancellations such that no Liouville interaction term is generated by renormalization of the string fields. For open surfaces, supersymmetry is spontaneously broken by the presence of the boundary, leading t...
متن کاملSchwinger - Dyson Equation for Supersymmetric Yang - Mills Theory : Manifestly Supersymmetric Form
We study our Schwinger-Dyson equation as well as the large N c loop equation for supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions by the N = 1 superspace Wilson-loop variable. We are successful in deriving a new manifestly supersymmetric form in which a loop splitting and joining are represented by a manifestly supersymmetric as well as supergauge invariant operation in superspace. This is f...
متن کاملOn Action Functionals for Interacting Brane Systems
We present an action functional and derive equations of motion for a coupled system of a bosonic Dp–brane and an open string ending on the Dp-brane. With this example we address the key issues of the recently proposed method 1,2 for the construction of manifestly supersymmetric action functionals for interacting superbrane systems. We clarify, in particular, how the arbitrariness in sources loc...
