High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-28 v2

Abstract

We review the detailed structure of the large N=4N=4 superconformal algebra, and construct its BRST operator which constitutes the main object for analyzing N=4N=4 strings. We then derive the general condition for the nilpotency of the BRST operator and show that there exists a line of critical N=4N=4 string theories.
