Starting with a new bosonization scheme for the \beta\gamma CFT of the super-conformal ghosts, vertex operators are constructed for massless open string states in the intersecting D-brane world. These vertex operators satisfy all…
A string in four dimensions is constructed by supplementing it with forty four Majorana fermions. The later are represented by eleven vectors in the bosonic representation $SO(D-1,1)$. The central charge is 26. The fermions are grouped in…
Interacting AdS_4 higher spin gauge theories with N \geq 1 supersymmetry so far have been formulated as constrained systems of differential forms living in a twistor extension of 4D spacetime. Here we formulate the minimal N=1 theory in…
We derive the spectrum generating algebra for the hybrid string with manifest $\mathcal{N}=1$ super Poincar\'e symmetry in $\mathbb{R}^{3,1}\times\mathbb{R}^{6}$. Our DDF operators establish a one-to-one correspondence with the conventional…
Lagrangians for several new off-shell 4D, N = 1 supersymmetric descriptions of massive superspin-1 and superspin-3/2 multiplets are described. Taken together with the models previously constructed, there are now four off-shell formulations…
The theory of a massive spin-2 state on the de Sitter space -- with the mass squared equal to one sixth of the curvature -- is special for two reasons: (i) it exhibits an enhanced local symmetry; (ii) it emerges as a part of the model that…
We study supersymmetry conditions for the heterotic pure superstring preserving and N=1 supersymmetry in four dimensions directly from the curved superspace defined by the Berkovits-Howe constraints.
Various formulas for currents with arbitrary spin are worked out in general space-time dimension, in the free field limit and, at the bare level, in presence of interactions. As the n-dimensional generalization of the (conformal) vector…

We construct a class of superstring solutions in non trivial space-time. The existence of an $N=4$ world-sheet superconformal symmetry stabilizes our solutions under perturbative string loop corrections and implies in target space some…
We present evidence for the target space duality symmetry associated with massive excited states of closed bosonic string. The evolution of string is considered in ${\hat D}$ spacetime dimensions; out of which d spacial dimensions are…
As a check of the first massive integrated vertex operator in the pure spinor formalism constructed in arXiv:1802.04486, we compute the one loop 2-point function of the stable non-BPS massive states in SO(32) heterotic string theory. This…

We analyze the massive 4D scalar multiplet in 'reformulated' projective N=2 superspace (hyperspace) from both 4D and 6D perspectives.
We show that the coupling of a massive spin-2 field to undeformed N=1 supergravity in four dimensions is unique, leading to a specific non-minimal coupling to the Riemann tensor. The massive spin-2 coupling reproduces the one of an…
We construct complete sets of (open and closed string) covariant coherent state and mass eigenstate vertex operators in bosonic string theory. This construction can be used to study the evolution of fundamental cosmic strings as predicted…
We present the explicit form of higher dimensional VSI spacetimes in arbitrary number of dimensions. We discuss briefly the VSI's in the context of supergravity/strings.
The pure spinor formulation of the ten-dimensional superstring leads to manifestly supersymmetric loop amplitudes, expressed as integrals in pure spinor superspace. This paper explores different methods to evaluate these integrals and then…
We review aspects of quantisation of the 11-dimensional supermembrane world volume theory. We explicitly construct vertex operators for the massless states and study interactions of supermembranes. The open supermembrane and its vertex…
Most of the massive states in superstring theory are expected to undergo mass renormalization at one loop order. Typically these corrections should contain imaginary parts, indicating that the states are unstable against decay into lighter…
