In this paper we construct two free field realizations of the elliptic affine Lie algebra sl(2,R) + \Omega_R/dR, where R=C[t,t^{-1},u|u^2=t^3 - 2b t^2 + t]. The first realization gives an analogue of Wakimoto's construction for Affine…

We first review the representations of the six-dimensional (2,0) superalgebra on a free tensor multiplet and on a free string. We then construct a supersymmetric Lagrangian describing a free tensor multiplet. (It also includes a decoupled…

We investigate how SL(2,Z) duality is realized in nonrelativistic type IIB superstring theory, which is a self-contained corner of relativistic string theory. Within this corner, we realize manifestly SL(2,Z)-invariant (p,q)-string actions.…

This paper is devoted to the study of closed string field theory in two dimensions. We compare two different approaches: BRST closed string field theory and the string effective Lagrangian. We show that the quadratic action and the pole…
