W-algebras with set of primary fields of dimensions (3, 4, 5) and (3,4,5,6)

K. Hornfeck

We show that that the Jacobi-identities for a W-algebra with primary fields of dimensions 3, 4 and 5 allow two different solutions. The first solution can be identified with WA_4.…

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…

On the spectrum, no ghost theorem and modular invariance of strings

Peter West

A spectrum generating algebra is constructed and used to find all the physical states of the string with standard ghost number. These states are shown to have positive norm a…

Lorentz-Covariant Green-Schwarz Superstring Amplitudes

Nathan Berkovits

In a recent paper, the BRST formalism for the gauge-fixed N=2 twistor-string was used to calculate Green-Schwarz supersring scattering amplitudes with an arbitrary number of loops…

Anticommuting Variables, Fermionic Path Integrals and Supersymmetry

Alice Rogers

(Replacement because mailer changed `hat' for supercript into something weird. The macro `\sp' has been used in place of the `hat' character in this revised version.) Fermionic Bro…

string scattering

M. D. Freeman, P. West

The group theoretic method is extended to include fields with a background charge. This formalism is used to compute the tree level scattering for strings. The scattering amp…
