NS Ghost Slivers

Abstract

Neveu-Schwarz ghost slivers in pictures zero and minus one are constructed. In particular, using algebraic methods $\beta$, $\gamma$ ghost sliver in the -1 picture is obtained. The algebraic method consists in solving a projector equation in an algebra, where the multiplication is defined by a pure 3-string vertex without any insertions at the string midpoint. We show that this projector is a sliver in a twisted version of $\beta$, $\gamma$ conformal theory. We also show that the product of the twisted $b$, $c$ and $\beta$, $\gamma$ ghost slivers solves an equation that appears after a special rescaling of super VSFT.
