We derive the Green-Schwarz action on AdS_5 x S^5 using an alternate version of the coset superspace construction. By Wick rotations and Lie algebra identifications we bring the coset to GL(4|4)/(Sp(4) x GL(1))^2, which allows us to…

We propose modified action which is equivalent to N=1 Green-Schwarz superstring and which allows one to realize the supplementation trick [26]. Fermionic first and second class constraints are covariantly separated, the first class…

We present a supersymmetric and $\kappa$-symmetric D-string action on $AdS_5 \times S^5$ in supercoset construction. As in the previous work of the super D-string action in the flat background, the super D-string action on $AdS_5 \times…

Green-Schwarz action of Type IIB string on $AdS_3 \times S^3$ is constructed via coset superspace approach. The construction relies exclusively on symplectically Majorana-Weyl spinor formalism, thus permitting it easier to prove…

We extend the non-perturbative time-dependent bosonic string action of [3] to a N=1 supersymmetric world sheet action with graviton background, and assume a superpotential, function of the time super coordinate.

Fundamental theories, like strings, supergravity, Kaluza-Klein, lead after dimensional reduction and a suitable choice of field configurations, to an effective action in four dimensions where gravity is coupled non-mininally to one scalar…

The superfield formulation of type II Green-Schwarz superstring with n= (1,0) worldsheet supersymmetry is constructed. It is shown that the inclusion of the second spinor coordinate in the target superspase leads to the possibility of the…
