The Massless Spectrum of Covariant Superstrings

High Energy Physics - Theory 2014-11-18 v2

Abstract

We obtain the correct cohomology at any ghost number for the open and closed covariant superstring, quantized by an approach which we recently developed. We define physical states by the usual condition of BRST invariance and a new condition involving a new current which is related to a grading of the underlying affine Lie algebra.
