Unitarity of Superstring Field Theory
arXiv:1607.08244 · doi:10.1007/JHEP12(2016)115
Abstract
We complete the proof of unitarity of (compactified) heterotic and type II string field theories by showing that in the cut diagrams only physical states appear in the sum over intermediate states. This analysis takes into account the effect of mass and wave-function renormalization, and the possibility that the true vacuum may be related to the perturbative vacuum by small shifts in the string fields.
