Explicit Formulas for Neumann Coefficients in the Plane-Wave Geometry
Yang-Hui He, John H. Schwarz, Marcus Spradlin +1
We obtain explicit formulas for the Neumann coefficients and associated quantities that appear in the three-string vertex for type IIB string theory in a plane-wave background, for…
On light-cone SFT contact terms in a plane wave
Radu Roiban, Marcus Spradlin, Anastasia Volovich
Testing the BMN correspondence at non-zero string coupling g_s requires a one-loop string field theory calculation. At order g_s^2, matrix elements of the light-cone string field t…
Tracing the String: BMN correspondence at Finite J^2/N
John Pearson, Marcus Spradlin, Diana Vaman +2
Employing the string bit formalism of hep-th/0209215, we identify the basis transformation that relates BMN operators in N=4 gauge theory to string states in the dual string field…
New Effects in Gauge Theory from pp-wave Superstrings
Igor R. Klebanov, Marcus Spradlin, Anastasia Volovich
It has recently been observed that IIB string theory in the pp-wave background can be used to calculate certain quantities, such as the dimensions of BMN operators, as exact functi…
Superstring Interactions in a pp-wave Background II
Marcus Spradlin, Anastasia Volovich
In type IIB light-cone superstring field theory, the cubic interaction has two pieces: a delta-functional overlap and an operator inserted at the interaction point. In this paper w…
Superstring Interactions in a pp-wave Background
Marcus Spradlin, Anastasia Volovich
We construct light-cone gauge superstring field theory in a pp-wave background with Ramond-Ramond flux. The leading term in the interaction Hamiltonian is determined up to an overa…
