Lectures on W algebras and W gravity
C. N. Pope
We give a review of the extended conformal algebras, known as algebras, which contain currents of spins higher than 2 in addition to the energy-momentum tensor. These include t…
N=2 Superstrings with (1,2m) Spacetime Signature
H. Lu, C. N. Pope, X. J. Wang +1
We show that the superstring in real dimensions, with criticality achieved by including background charges in the two real time directions, exhibits a ``coordinate…
Anomaly Freedom and Realisations for Super- Strings
H. Lu, C. N. Pope, X. J. Wang +1
We construct new multi-field realisations of the super- algebra, which are important for building super- string theories. We derive the structure of the ghost vacuu…
Anomaly-free -gravity Theories
C. N. Pope
We give a review of some recent developments in the quantisation of -gravity theories. In particular, we discuss the construction of anomaly-free and gravities.
The -string spectrum
C. N. Pope, L. J. Romans, E. Sezgin +1
We study the spectrum of strings. In particular, we show that for appropriately chosen space-time signature, one of the scalar fields is singled out by the spin-3 constraint…
