Physical states for non-linear $SO(N)$ strings

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-07 v1

Abstract

We study some low-lying physical states in a superstring theory based on the quadratically non-linear SO(N)SO(N)--extended superconformal algebra. In the realisation of the algebra that we use, all the physical states are discrete, analogous to the situation in a one-scalar bosonic string. The BRST operator for the N=3N=3 case needs to be treated separately, and its construction is given here.
