--Extended Gauge Algebras in -Loop Space
E. Bergshoeff, R. Percacci, E. Sezgin +2
We consider, for odd, a --brane coupled to a th rank background antisymmetric tensor field and to background Yang-Mills (YM) fields {\it via} a Wess-Zumino term. We o…
Supersymmetric String Waves
E. A. Bergshoeff, R. Kallosh, T. Ortin
We present plane-wave-type solutions of the lowest order superstring effective action which have unbroken space-time supersymmetries. They describe dilaton, axion and gauge fields…
A Derivation of the BRST Operator for Non-Critical W-Strings
E. Bergshoeff, A. Sevrin, X. Shen
We derive the recently proposed BRST charge for non-critical W strings from a Lagragian approach. The basic observation is that, despite appearances, the combination of two classic…
Self-Dual Supergravity Theories in 2+2 Dimensions
E. Bergshoeff, E. Sezgin
Starting from the new minimal multiplet of supergravity in dimensions, we construct two types of self-dual supergravity theories. One of them involves a self-duality conditio…
Spacetime Scale-Invariance and the Super p-Brane
E. Bergshoeff, L. A. J London, P. K. Townsend
We generalize to p-dimensional extended objects and type II superstrings a recently proposed Green-Schwarz type I superstring action in which the tension emerges as an integrat…
