Superstrings from theories with N>1 world-sheet supersymmetry
Laurent Baulieu, Michael B. Green, Eliezer Rabinovici
String theories with (N,N') local world-sheet supersymmetries are related to each other by marginal deformations. This connects N=1 and N=0 theories in which the target-spaces are…
Worldsheets with Extended Supersymmetry
Laurent Baulieu, Nobuyoshi Ohta
We determine the equations which govern the gauge symmetries of worldsheets with local supersymmetry of arbitrary rank , and their possible anomalies. Both classical and gh…
Topological Aspects of Gauge Fixing Yang-Mills Theory on S4
Laurent Baulieu, Alexander Rozenberg, Martin Schaden
For an space-time manifold global aspects of gauge-fixing are investigated using the relation to Topological Quantum Field Theory on the gauge group. The partition function o…
A Unifying Topological Action for Heterotic and Type II Superstring Theories
Laurent Baulieu, Michael B. Green, Eliezer Rabinovici
The heterotic and type II superstring actions are identified in different anomaly-free decompositions of a single topological sigma-model action depending on bosonic and fermionic…
Gauge Group TQFT and Improved Perturbative Yang-Mills Theory
Laurent Baulieu, Martin Schaden
We reinterpret the Faddeev-Popov gauge-fixing procedure of Yang-Mills theories as the definition of a topological quantum field theory for gauge group elements depending on a backg…
