NS-NS Sector of Closed Superstring Field Theory

Abstract

We give a construction for a general class of vertices in superstring field theory which include integration over bosonic moduli as well as the required picture changing insertions. We apply this procedure to find a covariant action for the NS-NS sector of Type II closed superstring field theory.

33 pages, 2 figures. Removed discussion of imprecise analogy between the closed string products and tensor products of open string products. New appendix includes explicit expressions for the quartic open and heterotic vertices
