Light-cone Gauge Superstring Field Theory and Dimensional Regularization II
Abstract
We propose a dimensional regularization scheme to deal with the divergences caused by colliding supercurrents inserted at the interaction points, in the light-cone gauge NSR superstring field theory. We formulate the theory in dimensions and define the amplitudes as analytic functions of . With an appropriately chosen three-string interaction term and large negative , the tree level amplitudes for the (NS,NS) closed strings can be recast into a BRST invariant form, using the superconformal field theory proposed in Ref.[arXiv:0911.3704]. We show that in the limit they coincide with the results of the first quantized theory. Therefore we obtain the desired results without adding any contact interaction terms to the action.
