The genus-dependence of multi-loop superstring amplitudes is bounded at large orders in perturbation theory using the super-Schottky group parametrization of supermoduli space. Partial estimates of supermoduli space integrals suggest an…
We conjecture the factorized scattering description for OSP(m/2n)/OSP(m-1/2n) supersphere sigma models and OSP(m/2n) Gross Neveu models. The non-unitarity of these field theories translates into a lack of `physical unitarity' of the S…
We discuss $d=1, {\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric matrix models and exhibit the associated $d=2$ collective field theory in the limit of dense eigenvalues. From this field theory we construct, by the addition of several new fields, a $d=2$…
