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…
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…
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…
Recent Progress in Superstring Theory
John H. Schwarz
Superstring theory has continued to develop at a rapid clip in the past few years. Following a quick review of some of the major discoveries prior to 1998, this talk focuses on a f…
Reminiscences of Collaborations with Joel Scherk
John H. Schwarz
I had the privilege of collaborating with Joel Scherk on three separate occasions: in 1970 at Princeton, in 1974 at Caltech, and in 1978-79 at the Ecole Normale Superieure. In this…
