Quantization of Superstrings in Ramond-Ramond Backgrounds
David Berenstein, Robert G. Leigh
We present a perturbative study of Ramond-Ramond backgrounds in the NSR formalism. We show how to perform sigma-model computations and discuss in detail the structure of the BRST c…

Superstring Perturbation Theory and Ramond-Ramond Backgrounds
David Berenstein, Robert G. Leigh
We consider perturbative Type II superstring theory in the covariant NSR formalism in the presence of NSNS and RR backgrounds. A concrete example that we have in mind is the geomet…

Spacetime supersymmetry in backgrounds
David Berenstein, Robert G. Leigh
We construct string target spacetimes with AdS_3 x X geometry, which have an N=2 spacetime superconformal algebra. X is found to be a U(1) fibration over a manifold which is a targ…
