The vector supersymmetry recently found for the bosonic string is generalized to superstring theories quantized in the super-Beltrami parametrization.
We show that the bosonic string theory quantized in the Beltrami parametrization possesses a supersymmetric structure like the vector-supersymmetry already observed in topological field theories.
We discuss the BSRT quantization of 2D $N=1$ supergravity coupled to superconformal matter with $\hat{c} \leq 1$ in the conformal gauge. The physical states are computed as BRST cohomology. In particular, we consider the ring structure and…
We study the BRST cohomology within a local conformal Lagrangian field theory model built on a two dimensional Riemann surface with no boundary. We deal with the case of the complex structure parametrized by Beltrami differential and the…
We first derive all world-sheet action functionals for NSR superstring models with (1,1) supersymmetry and any number of abelian gauge fields, for gauge transformations of the standard form. Then we prove for these models that the BRST…
In this article, we investigate the supersymmetric c=1 model of superstring theory and demonstrate how the spectrum of states is expanded and new symmetries of the theory are generated by the existence of ghost cohomologies. As a result, we…
The BRST operator cohomology of $N=2$ $2d$ supergravity coupled to matter is presented. Descent equations for primary superfields of the matter sector are derived. We find one copy of the cohomology at ghost number one, two independent…

We summarize some recent results on the BRST analysis of physical states of 2D gravity coupled to c<=1 conformal matter and the supersymmetric generalization.
The BRST cohomology group in the space of local functionals of the fields for the two-dimensional conformally invariant gravity is calculated. All classical local actions (ghost number equal to zero) and all candidate anomalies are given…
In the study of the Type II superstring, it is useful to consider the BRST complex associated to the sum of two pure spinors. The cohomology of this complex is an infinite-dimensional vector space. It is also a finite-dimensional algebra…
We analyze the BRST cohomology of the critical N=2 NSR string using chiral bosonization. Picture-changing and spectral flow is made explicit in a holomorphic field basis. The integration of fermionic and U(1) moduli is performed and yields…
We analyse the BRST cohomology of the Ramond sector of heterotic ambitwistor theory. We also write the free string field theory action and compute the supersymmetry transformations.
We replace our earlier condition that physical states of the superstring have non-negative grading by the requirement that they are analytic in a new real commuting constant t which we associate with the central charge of the underlying…
We discuss various techniques for computing the semi-infinite cohomology of highest weight modules which arise in the BRST quantization of two dimensional field theories. In particular, we concentrate on two such theories -- the $G/H$ coset…
