On the Worldsheet Derivation of Large N Dualities for the Superstring
Nathan Berkovits, Hirosi Ooguri, Cumrun Vafa
Large N topological string dualities have led to a class of proposed open/closed dualities for superstrings. In the topological string context, the worldsheet derivation of these d…

Yang-Mills Action from Open Superstring Field Theory
Nathan Berkovits, Martin Schnabl
We calculate the effective action for nonabelian gauge bosons up to quartic order using WZW-like open superstring field theory. After including level zero and level one contributio…

Superstrings in Graviphoton Background and N=1/2+3/2 Supersymmetry
Nathan Berkovits, Nathan Seiberg
Motivated by Ooguri and Vafa, we study superstrings in flat R^4 in a constant self-dual graviphoton background. The supergravity equations of motion are satisfied in this backgroun…
