The tensionless limit of string theory has recently been formulated in terms of worldsheet Rindler physics. In this paper, by considering closed strings moving in background Rindler spacetimes, we provide a concrete exemplification of this…

We present a set of necessary conditions for the existence of a biorthonormal basis composed of eigenvectors of non-Hermitian operators. As an illustration, we examine these conditions in the case of normal operators. We also provide a…

We completely accomplish the canonically covariant quantization of Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz (RNS) superstrings in the pp-wave background with a non-zero flux of the NS-NS antisymmetric two-form field. Here this flux is equivalent to a…

It is shown that the BRST resolution of the spaces of physical states of non-critical (anomalus) massive string models can be consistently defined. The appropriate anomalus complexes are obtained by canonical restrictions of the ghost…

Particle and string actions on coset spaces typically lack a quadratic kinetic term, making their quantization difficult. We define a notion of twistors on these spaces, which are hypersurfaces in a vector space that transform linearly…

In any type II superstring background, the supergravity vertex operators in the pure spinor formalism are described by a gauge superfield. In this paper, we obtain for the first time an explicit expression for this superfield in an $AdS_5…

The field equations of the auxiliary fields are nonlinear and free of derivatives. Hence, it is argued, a Legendre transform to generate the 1PI Generating Functionals is not correct for the auxiliary fields. A corrected formulation of the…

We discuss the target-space interpretation of the world-sheet logarithmic operators in string theory. These operators generate the normalizable zero modes (discrete states) in target space, which restore the symmetries of the theory broken…

The cohomology of the BRS operator corresponding to a group of rigid symmetries is studied in a space of local field functionals subjected to a condition of gauge invariance. We propose a procedure based on a filtration operator counting…

We study vertex operators for super Yang-Mills and multi D-branes in covariant form using Green-Schwarz formalism. We introduce the contact terms naturally and prove space-time supersymmetry and gauge invariance. The nonlinear realization…

We analyse the BRST cohomology of the Ramond sector of heterotic ambitwistor theory. We also write the free string field theory action and compute the supersymmetry transformations.

We consider strings with the Nambu action as extremal surfaces in a given space-time, thus, we ignore their back reaction. Especially, we look for strings sharing one symmetry with the underlying space-time. If this is a non-null symmetry,…

In this work we investigate the classical constraints imposed on the supergravity and super Yang-Mills backgrounds in the $\alpha'\to 0$ limit of the heterotic string using the pure spinor formalism. Guided by the recently observed…

Supergravity solutions describing supersymmetric rotating bound states of NS fivebranes, fundamental strings and momentum can sometimes have an ergoregion but no horizon. In such supersymmetric ergoregions, there is an unusual feature that…

We consider interactions of a NS open string with first important states of a NS closed string, i.e., a closed-string tachyon and a graviton, where both ends of the NS open string are attached on a D-brane, and a constant background B field…

We construct an ambitwistor string that describes Type II supergravity on AdS$_3\times$S$^3$ with pure NS flux. The background Einstein equations ensure that the model is anomaly free. The spectrum consists of supergravity fluctuations…

In this work we give an explicit construction for the vertex operators of massless states in the pure spinor superstring in a plane wave background. The construction is based on the observation that the full action can be divided in two…

We propose that a novel deformation of string perturbation theory, involving non-local interactions between strings, is required to describe the gravity duals of field theories deformed by multiple-trace operators. The new perturbative…

We show that it is algebraically consistent to express some string field theory operators as inner derivations of the B-V algebra of string vertices. In this approach, the recursion relations for the string vertices are found to take the…

In an earlier paper [arXiv:1408.0484] gauge invariant and background covariant equations for closed string modes were obtained from the exact renormalization group equation of the world sheet theory. The background metric (but not the…
