Higher-Spin States of the Superstring in an Electromagnetic Background
Karim Benakli, Nathan Berkovits, Cassiano A. Daniel +1
Constructing a consistent four-dimensional Lagrangian for charged massive higher-spin fields propagating in an electromagnetic background is an open problem. In 1989, Argyres and N…
Instanton Solutions in Open Superstring Field Theory
Nathan Berkovits, Vilson Fabricio Juliatto, Ulisses M. Portugal
Open superstring field theory admits a "hybrid" formulation where N = 1 D = 4 supersymmetry is manifest for Calabi-Yau compactifications to four dimensions. Using this formulation,…
Manifest Spacetime Supersymmetry and the Superstring
Nathan Berkovits
The algebra of spacetime supersymmetry generators in the RNS formalism for the superstring closes only up to a picture-changing operation. After adding non-minimal variables and wo…
