We construct a hierarchy of supersymmetric string theories by showing that the general N-extended superstrings may be viewed as a special class of the (N+1)-extended superstrings. As a side result, we find a twisted (N+2) superconformal…
We review the basic principles of the construction of open and unoriented superstring models and analyze some representative examples.
I consider an algebraic construction of creation and annihilation operators for superstring and p-brane parton models. The result can be interpreted as a realisation of multiple quantisation and suggests a relationship between quantisation…
Utilizing the known off-shell formulation of 2D, N = (2,2) supergravity, containing a finite number of auxiliary fields, there is shown to exist a simple form for a 'chiral projection operator' and an explicit expression for it is given.
We make a review on the recent progress in the operator algebraic approach to (super)conformal field theory. We discuss representation theory, classification results, full and boundary conformal field theories, relations to supervertex…
We discuss the notion of generalised hyperKaehler structure in the context of string theory and discuss examples of this geometry.
We generalize the construction of multitildes in the aim to provide multitilde operators for regular languages. We show that the underliying algebraic structure involves the action of some operads. An operad is an algebraic structure that…
Supersymmetry might be broken, in the real world, by anomalies that affect composite operators, while leaving the action supersymmetric. New constraint equations that govern the composite operators and their anomalies are examined. It is…
The previously proposed generalized action principle approach to supersymmetric extended objects is considered in some details for the case of heterotic string in $D=3, 4, 6 ~and~ 10$ space--time dimensions. The proof of the 'off--shell'…
Considered are superparticle and superstring models invariant under supersymmetry in a target superspace and local extended worldsheet supersymmetry the latter replacing the fermionic $\kappa$--symmetry of the conventional Green--Schwarz…
The theory of generalized inverses of matrices and operators is closely connected with projections, i.e., idempotent (bounded) linear transformations. We show that a similar situation occurs in any associative ring $\mathcal{R}$ with a unit…
Generalized inverses of tensors play increasingly important roles in computational mathematics and numerical analysis. It is appropriate to develop the theory of generalized inverses of tensors within the algebraic structure of a ring. In…
In this review, we give a pedagogical introduction to a systematic framework for constructing and analyzing supersymmetric field theories on curved spacetime manifolds. The framework is based on the use of off-shell supergravity background…
In system operations it is commonly assumed that arbitrary changes to a system can be reversed or `rolled back', when errors of judgement and procedure occur. We point out that this view is flawed and provide an alternative approach to…
We propose a manifestly supersymmetric generalization of the solvable $T \overline{T}$ deformation of two-dimensional field theories. For theories with $(1,1)$ and $(0,1)$ supersymmetry, the deformation is defined by adding a term to the…
The coordinate projective line over a field is seen as a groupoid with a further `projection' structure. We investigate conversely to what extent such an, abstractly given, groupoid may be coordinatized by a suitable field constructed out…
The Gale transform, an involution on sets of points in projective space, appears in a multitude of guises, in subjects as diverse as optimization, coding theory, theta-functions, and recently in our proof that certain general sets of points…
Projective superspace provides a natural framework for the construction of actions coupling hypermultiplets to conformal supergravity. We review how the off-shell actions are formulated in superspace and then discuss how to eliminate the…
Let $B(H)$ be the algebra of all bounded operators on a Hilbert space $H$. Let $T=V|T|$ be the polar decomposition of an operator $T\in B(H)$. The mean transform of $T$ is defined by $M(T)=\frac{T+|T|V}{2}$. In this paper, we discuss…
We generalize the BV formalism for the physical theories on supermanifolds with graded symmetry algebras realized off-shell and on-shell. An application of such generalization to supersymmetric theories allows us to formulate the new…
