We compute partition functions describing multiplicities and charges of massless and first massive string states of pure-spinor superstrings in 3,4,6,10 dimensions. At the massless level we find a spin-one gauge multiplet of minimal…
We develop a spinor helicity formalism for five-dimensional scattering amplitudes of any mass and spin configuration. While five-dimensional spinor helicity variables have been previously studied in the context of N=2,4 supersymmetric…
We present the technical tools needed to compute any one-loop amplitude involving external spacetime fermions in a four-dimensional heterotic string model a` la Kawai-Lewellen-Tye. As an example, we compute the one-loop three-point…
We show that 10D spinor helicity formalism can be understood as spinor moving frame approach to supersymmetric particles extended to the description of amplitudes. This allows us to develop the spinor helicity formalism for 11D supergravity…
We calculate the bosonic string one-loop three- and four-point amplitudes to quadradic order in momentum, and we read off the one-loop low-energy two-derivative effective action for the massless fields, $S_{eff}$. Treating the renormalized…
A first quantised approach to loop amplitudes based on the pure spinor particle is applied to the systematics of four-particle amplitudes in maximally supersymmetric field theories. Counting of fermionic zero modes allows the identification…
We present a new method of deriving the off-shell spectrum of supergravity and massless $4D,~\mathcal{N}=1$ higher spin multiplets without the need of an action and based on a set of natural requirements: (a.) existence of an underlying…
It is shown that the bosonic angular degrees of freedom in the one dimensional Marinari-Parisi superstring can be integrated out exactly in the Hamiltonian formulation without having to perform the Dabholkar truncation. The resulting…
We classify and compute, by means of the six-dimensional embedding formalism in twistor space, all possible three-point functions in four dimensional conformal field theories involving bosonic or fermionic operators in irreducible…
Nonlinear field equations for the supersymmetric higher-spin gauge theory describing totally symmetric bosonic and fermionic massless fields along with hook-type bosonic fields of all spins in any space-time dimension are presented. One of…
A manifestly super-Poincar\'e covariant formalism for the superstring has recently been constructed using a pure spinor variable. Unlike the covariant Green-Schwarz formalism, this new formalism is easily quantized with a BRST operator and…
We prove that all tree-level $n$-point supergluon (scalar) amplitudes in AdS$_5$ can be recursively constructed, using factorization and flat-space limit. Our method is greatly facilitated by a natural R-symmetry basis for planar…
We show that a spin-$5/2$ field can be consistently coupled to gravitation without cosmological constant in five-dimensional spacetimes. The fermionic gauge "hypersymmetry" requires the presence of a finite number of additional fields,…
The pure spinor formalism for the superstring was recently obtained by gauge-fixing a purely bosonic classical action involving a twistor-like constraint $\partial x^m (\gamma_m\lambda)_\alpha =0$ where $\lambda^\alpha$ is a d=10 pure…
Spinor description for the curvatures of $D=5$ Yang-Mills, Rarita-Schwinger and gravitational fields is elaborated. Restrictions imposed on the curvature spinors by the dynamical equations and Bianchi identities are analyzed. In the absence…
We construct the integrated vertex operator for the first massive states of open superstrings with $(mass)^2=1/\alpha'$ in the pure spinor formalism of the superstring theory. This vertex operator is expressed in terms of the ten…
We calculate emission rates of various bosonic/fermionic soft massless states of open/closed superstring from an ensemble of a highly excited open/closed superstring in the flat background. The resulting spectrum shows thermal distributions…
We show that the wave function of a one dimensional spinor gas with contact $s$-wave interaction, either bosonic or fermionic, can be mapped to the direct product of the wave function of a spinless Fermi gas with short-range $p$-wave…
We present an analytic reconstruction of one-loop amplitudes for the process $0 \to \bar{q}qt\bar{t}H$. Our calculation is a novel use of analytic reconstruction, retaining explicit covariance in the massive spin states through the massive…
It appears natural to consider the four dimensional relativistic massive field as a five dimensional massless field. If the fifth coordinate is interpreted as the proper time, then the fifth moment can be understood as the rest mass. After…
