Maximally supersymmetric theories do not allow off-shell superspace formulations with traditional superfields containing a finite set of auxiliary fields. It has become clear that off-shell supersymmetric action formulations of such models…
Same amplitudes evaluated independently using RNS and pure spinor formalism are expected to agree. While for massless states, this fact has been firmly established, for massive states such an explicit check has been lacking so far. We…
In this note we construct vertex operators in effective string theory using the simplified covariant formalism, i.e. by embedding it in the Polyakov formalism supplemented by an anomaly term, and fixing to conformal gauge. These vertex…
