as space-time symmetry --- Origin of the twistor transform

Martin Cederwall

Massless particle dynamics in Minkowski space is given an -covariant formulation, including both space-time and twistor variables. contains the conformal algebra…

The Low-level Spectrum of the String

H. Lu, B. E. W. Nilsson, C. N. Pope +2

We investigate the spectrum of physical states in the string theory, up to level 2 for a multi-scalar string, and up to level 4 for the two-scalar string. The (open) st…

Simple BRST quantization of general gauge models

Robert Marnelius

It is shown that the BRST charge for any gauge model with a Lie algebra symmetry may be decomposed as $$Q=\del+\del^†, \del^2=\del^{†2}=0, [\del, \del^†]_+=0$$ provided dynamic…

Localization of Massless Spinning Particles and the Berry Phase

Bo-Sture K Skagerstam

The components of the position operator, at a fixed time, for a massless and spinning particle with given helicity described in terms of bosonic degrees of freedom have an anom…

Quaternionic Superconformal Field Theory

Martin Cederwall, Christian Preitschopf

We develop a superfield formalism for N=4 superconformal two-dimensional field theory. A list is presented of minimal free superfields, i.e. of multiplets containing four bosons an…

Unitary Matrix Models and 2D Quantum Gravity (Virasoro constraints modified)

S. Dalley, C. V. Johnson, T. R. Morris +1

The KdV and modified KdV integrable hierarchies are shown to be different descriptions of the same 2D gravitational system -- open-closed string theory. Non-perturbative solutions…

Global KdV Flows and Stable 2D Quantum Gravity

Clifford V. Johnson, Tim R. Morris, Anders Wätterstam

The string equation for the formulation of non--perturbatively stable 2D quantum gravity coupled to the models is studied. Global KdV flows between th…
