BRST Properties of New Superstring States

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

Brane-like states are defined by physical vertex operators in NSR superstring theory, existing at nonzero pictures only. These states exist both in open and closed string theories, in the NS and NS-NS sectors respectively. In this paper we present a detailed analysis of their BRST properties, giving a proof that these vertex operators are physical, i.e. BRST invariant and BRST non-trivial.
