Triality Invariance in the N=2 Superstring

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-07-24 v2

Abstract

We prove the discrete triality invariance of the N=2 NSR superstring moving in a D=2+2 target space. We find that triality holds also in the Siegel-Berkovits formulation of the selfdual superstring. A supersymmetric generalization of Cayley's hyperdeterminant, based on a quartic invariant of the SL(2|1)^3 superalgebra, is presented.
