Non-perturbative Aspect of Zero Dimensional Supersring

Abstract

We discuss the non-perturbative aspect of zero dimensional superstring. The perturbative expansions of correlation functions diverge as l(3l)!κ2l\sum_l(3l)!\kappa^{2l}, where κ\kappa is a string coupling constant. This implies there are non-perturbative contributions of order \eCκ23\e^{C\kappa^{-{2 \over 3}}}. (Here CC is a constant.) This situation contrasts with those of critical or non-critical bosonic strings, where the perturbative expansions diverge as ll!κ2l\sum_ll!\kappa^{2l} and non-perturbative behaviors go as \eCκ1\e^{C\kappa^{-1}}. It is explained how such nonperturbative effects of order \eCκ23\e^{C\kappa^{-{2 \over 3}}} appear in zero dimensional superstring theory. Due to these non-perturbative effects, the supersymmetry in target space breaks down spontaneously.
