BRST Quantisation of the N=2 String in a Real Spacetime Structure
H. Lu, C. N. Pope
We study the string with a real structure on the spacetime, using BRST methods. Several new features emerge. In the diagonal basis, the operator $\exp(λ\int^z J^{\rm…
A Superstring Theory in 2+2 Dimensions
Z. Khviengia, H. Lu, C. N. Pope +3
In this paper we construct a dimensional string theory with manifest spacetime supersymmetry. We use Berkovits' approach of augmenting the spacetime supercoordinates…
Quantising Higher-spin String Theories
H. Lu, C. N. Pope, K. Thielemans +2
In this paper, we examine the conditions under which a higher-spin string theory can be quantised. The quantisability is crucially dependent on the way in which the matter currents…
Canonical BRST Quantisation of Worldsheet Gravities
R. Mohayaee, C. N. Pope, K. S. Stelle +1
We reformulate the BRST quantisation of chiral Virasoro and worldsheet gravities. Our approach follows directly the classic BRST formulation of Yang-Mills theory in employing…
A note on W_{2,s} strings
H. Lu, C. N. Pope, X. J. Wang +1
BRST operators for two-dimensional theories with spin-2 and spin- currents, generalising the BRST operator of Thierry-Mieg, have previously been obtained. The construction…
The Multivalued Free-Field Maps of Liouville and Toda Gravities
A. Anderson, B. E. W. Nilsson, C. N. Pope +1
Liouville and Toda gravity theories with non-vanishing interaction potentials have spectra obtained by dividing the free-field spectra for these cases by the Weyl group of the corr…
