Non-commutative superspace from string theory

摘要

Turning on background fields in string theory sometimes has an alternative interpretation as a deformation of the target space geometry. A particularly well-known case is the NS-NS two form B, which gives rise to space-time non-commutativity. In this note we point out that this phenomenon extends to ten-dimensional superspace when employing a covariant quantization of the superstring, generalizing an observation by Ooguri and Vafa in four dimensions. In particular, we will find that RR field strengths give rise to a non-zero {θ,θ}\{\theta,\theta\} anti-commutator, just as in four dimensions, whereas the gravitino yields a non-zero value for [x,θ][x,\theta].
