ICTP Lectures on Covariant Quantization of the Superstring
Nathan Berkovits
These ICTP Trieste lecture notes review the pure spinor approach to quantizing the superstring with manifest D=10 super-Poincare invariance. The first section discusses covariant q…
Review of Open Superstring Field Theory
Nathan Berkovits
I review the construction of an action for open superstring field theory which does not suffer from the contact term problems of other approaches. This action resembles a Wess-Zumi…
An Introduction to Superstring Theory and its Duality Symmetries
Nathan Berkovits
In these proceedings for the First School on Field Theory and Gravitation (Vitória, Brasil), a brief introduction is given to superstring theory and its duality symmetries. This in…
New Spacetime-Supersymmetric Methods for the Superstring
Nathan Berkovits
In this talk, the new spacetime-supersymmetric description of the superstring is reviewed and some of its applications are described. These applications include the manifestly spac…
A New Approach to the Green-Schwarz Superstring
Nathan Berkovits
By replacing two of the bosonic scalar superfields of the N=2 string with fermionic scalar superfields (which shifts from (2,2) to (9,1)), a quadratic action for the…
