A Locally Supersymmetric Action for the Bosonic String
Fiorenzo Bastianelli
Recently Berkovits and Vafa have shown that the bosonic string can be viewed as the fermionic string propagating in a particular background. Such a background is described by a som…

On a New Method for Computing Trace Anomalies
Fiorenzo Bastianelli
I describe a new method for computing trace anomalies in quantum field theories which makes use of path-integrals for particles moving in curved spaces. After presenting the main i…

Induced Chiral Supergravities in 2D
Fiorenzo Bastianelli, Ulf Lindstrom
We analyze actions for 2D supergravities induced by chiral conformal supermatter. The latter may be thought as described at the classical level by superspace actions invariant unde…
