Quantization of the Superstring with Manifest U(5) Super-Poincare Invariance

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

The superstring is quantized in a manner which manifestly preserves a U(5) subgroup of the (Wick-rotated) ten-dimensional super-Poincar\'e invariance. This description of the superstring contains critical N=2 worldsheet superconformal invariance and is a natural covariantization of the U(4)-invariant light-cone Green-Schwarz description.
