Parafermions, Strings and their BRST Charges

Michael Freeman, Peter West

We show how to relate the parafermions that occur in the string to the standard construction of parafermions. This result is then used to show that one of the screening charg…

A W-String Realization of the Bosonic String

Nathan Berkovits, Mike Freeman, Peter West

It has recently been shown that the ordinary bosonic string can be represented by a special background of N=1 or N=2 strings. In this paper, it will be shown that the bosonic strin…

On the Uniqueness of String Theory

Nathan Berkovits, Cumrun Vafa

We show that bosonic strings may be viewed as a particular class of vacua for N=1 superstrings, and N=1 superstrings may be viewed as a particular class of vacua for N=2 strings. C…

A Ten-Dimensional Super-Yang-Mills Action with Off-Shell Supersymmetry

Nathan Berkovits

After adding seven auxiliary scalar fields, the action for ten-dimensional super-Yang-Mills contains an equal number of bosonic and fermionic non-gauge fields. Besides being manife…

The Ten-Dimensional Green-Schwarz Superstring is a Twisted Neveu-Schwarz-Ramond String

Nathan Berkovits

An action for the ten-dimensional Green-Schwarz superstring with N=2 worldsheet superconformal invariance has recently been used to calculate superstring scattering amplitudes and…

Jet Bundles in Quantum Field Theory: The BRST-BV method

Paul McCloud

The geometric interpretation of the Batalin-Vilkovisky antibracket as the Schouten bracket of functional multivectors is examined in detail. The identification is achieved by the p…
