Spectrum Generating Algebra and No-Ghost Theorem for Fermionic Massive String

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

The covariant operator quantization of the ordinary free spinning BDH string modified by adding the supersymmetric Liouville sector is analysed in the even target space dimensions d=2,4,6,8d=2,4,6,8. The spectrum generating algebra for this model is constructed and a general version of the no-ghost theorem is proven. A counterpart of the GSO projection leads to a family of tachyon free unitary free string theories. One of these models is equivalent to the non-critical Rammond-Neveu-Schwarz spinning string truncated in the Neveu-Schwarz sector to the tachyon free eigenspace of the fermion parity operator.
