We consider the superspace BRST and BV description of $4D,~\mathcal{N}=1$ Super Maxwell theory and its non-abelian generalization Super Yang-Mills. By fermionizing the superspace gauge transformation of the gauge superfields we define the…

We associate vertex operators to space-time diffeomorphisms in flat space string theory, and compute their algebra, which is a diffeomorphism algebra with higher derivative corrections. As an application, we realize the asymptotic symmetry…

We perform a classical BRST analysis of the symmetries corresponding to a generic $w_N$-algebra. An essential feature of our method is that we write the $w_N$-algebra in a special basis such that the algebra manifestly has a ``nested'' set…

In this paper, a new approach to string dynamics is proposed. String coordinates are identified with a non-commuting set of operators familiar from free string quantization, and the dynamics follows from the Virasoro algebra. There is a…

We discuss a covariant functional integral approach to the quantization of the bosonic string. In contrast to approaches relying on non-covariant operator regularizations, interesting operators here are true tensor objects with classical…

We continue the study of physical fields for the background free 4D quantum gravity based on the Riegert-Wess-Zumino action, developed in Phys. Rev. D {\bf 85} (2012) 024028. The background free model is formulated in terms of a certain…

Within the framework of Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism, we show the existence of (i) a couple of off-shell nilpotent (i.e. fermionic) BRST and co-BRST symmetry transformations, and (ii) a full set of non-nilpotent (i.e. bosonic)…

We study some low-lying physical states in a superstring theory based on the quadratically non-linear $SO(N)$--extended superconformal algebra. In the realisation of the algebra that we use, all the physical states are discrete, analogous…

In this paper, we construct non-critical BRST operators for matter and Liouville systems whose currents generate two different $W$ algebras. At the classical level, we construct the BRST operators for $W^{\rm M}_{2,s}\otimes W^{\rm…

We consider the background-free quantum gravity based on conformal gravity with the Riegert-Wess-Zumino action, which is formulated in terms of a conformal field theory. Employing the $R \times S^3$ background in practice, we construct the…

For some time now, conformal field theories in two dimensions have been studied as integrable systems. Much of the success of these studies is related to the existence of an operator algebra of the theory. In this paper, some of the…

At present an algebra of strongly interacting fields is unknown. In this paper it is assumed that the operators of strongly nonlinear field can form a non-associative algebra. It is shown that such algebra can be described as an algebra of…

After reviewing the Green-Schwarz superstring using the approach of Siegel, the superstring is covariantly quantized by constructing a BRST operator from the fermionic constraints and a bosonic pure spinor ghost variable. Physical massless…

The most disappointing aspect of $\W$-strings is probably the fact that at least for the known models one does not recover a physical spectrum that differs much from that of ordinary string theory. It is hoped that this is not an intrinsic…

$V$ denotes arbitrary bounded bijection on Hilbert space $H$. We try to describe the sets of $V$-stable vectors, i.e. the set of elements $x$ of $H$ such that the sequence $\|V^N x\| (N=1,2,...)$ is bounded (we also consider some other…

The conventional quantization of w_3 strings gives theories which are equivalent to special cases of bosonic strings. We explore whether a more general quantization can lead to new generalized W_3 string theories by seeking to construct…

We discuss the structure, realizations and quantum BRST operators of a class of nonlinear superconformal algebras with N > 4.

We present a general argument for the construction of BRST charges of the `non-critical' $\W_{2,4}$, $\W_{2,5}$, $\W_{2,6}$, and $\W_{2,8}$ strings. This evidences the existence of BRST charges for a kind of soft-type algebras which can be…

In this dissertation we explore various aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence. As string quantization on general backgrounds with fluxes is very difficult, one often uses the duality at the level of canonical fields of supergravity and the…

Boundary interactions of closed-string with open-strings are examined intended to provide a constructive formulation of boundary string field theory. As an illustration, we consider the BPS $D$-brane of the type II superstring in a constant…
