The Three-String Vertex for a Plane-Wave Background
John H. Schwarz
The three string vertex for Type IIB superstrings in a maximally supersymmetric plane-wave background can be constructed in a light-cone gauge string field theory formalism. The de…
Update on String Theory
John H. Schwarz
The first part of this report gives a very quick sketch of how string theory concepts originated and evolved during its first 25 years (1968-93). The second part presents a somewha…
Comments on Born-Infeld Theory
John H. Schwarz
The low-energy effective action of supersymmetric D-brane systems consists of two terms, one of which is of the Born-Infeld type and one of which is of the Chern-Simons type. I bri…
Introduction to Superstring Theory
John H. Schwarz
These four lectures, addressed to an audience of graduate students in experimental high energy physics, survey some of the basic concepts in string theory. The purpose is to convey…
Does Superstring Theory Have a Conformally Invariant Limit?
John H. Schwarz
This talk describes a proposal, due to Hull, for a conformally invariant limit of superstring theory in six dimensions.
String Theory: The Early Years
John H. Schwarz
Lenny Susskind has made many important contributions to theoretical physics during the past 35 years. In this talk I will discuss the early history of string theory (1968-72) empha…
