Invariance of on-shell scattering amplitudes under field redefinitions is a well known property in field theory that corresponds to covariance of on-shell amputated connected functions. In recent years there have been great efforts to…
The method of the calculation of the multi-loop superstring amplitudes is proposed. The amplitudes are calculated from the equations that are none other than Ward identities. They are derived from the requirement that the discussed…
We quantize super Yang-Mills action in $\mathcal{N}=3$ harmonic superspace using "Fermi-Feynman" gauge and also develop the background field formalism. This leads to simpler propagators and Feynman rules that are useful in performing…
An open superstring field theory action has been proposed which does not suffer from contact term divergences. In this paper, we compute the on-shell four-point tree amplitude from this action using the Giddings map. After including…

We attempt to construct the full equations of motion for the Neveu-Schwarz and the Ramond sectors of the heterotic string field theory. Although they are non-polynomial also in the Ramond string field $\Psi$, we can construct them order by…
In this paper we develop the covariant string field theory approach to open 2d strings. Upon constructing the vertices, we apply the formalism to calculate the lowest order contributions to the 4- and 5- point tachyon--tachyon tree…
The second order formalism for fermions provides a description of fermions that is very similar to that of scalars. We demonstrate that this second order formalism is equivalent to the standard Dirac formalism. We do so in terms of the…
We investigate the use of the embedding formalism and the Mellin transform in the calculation of tree-level conformal correlation functions in $AdS$/CFT. We evaluate 5- and 6-point Mellin amplitudes in $\phi^3$ theory and even a 12-pt…
