Employing the string bit formalism of hep-th/0209215, we identify the basis transformation that relates BMN operators in N=4 gauge theory to string states in the dual string field theory at finite g_2=J^2/N. In this basis, the supercharge…

We propose a new general BRST approach to string and string-like theories which have a wider range of applicability than e g the conventional conformal field theory method. The method involves a simple general regularization of all basic…

The Becci-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) operator quantization of a finite-dimensional gauge system featuring two quadratic super Hamiltonian and m linear supermomentum constraints is studied as a model for quantizing generally covariant gauge…

We construct analytic solutions of open superstring field theory in the Berkovits formulation using boundary condition changing operators under some regularity conditions, extending the previous construction in the bosonic string. We also…

We complete the construction of vacuum string field theory by proposing a canonical choice of ghost kinetic term -- a local insertion of the ghost field at the string midpoint with an infinite normalization. This choice, supported by level…

We study the scattering amplitudes of massive Kaluza-Klein (KK) states of open and closed bosonic strings under toroidal compactification. We analyze the structure of vertex operators for the KK strings and derive an extended massive…

We explore the closed form of the correlation function of four spin operators (including one closed string Ramond-Ramond (RR) and two open string fermions) and one current in ten dimensions, to be able to find the complete and the closed…

We explore the geometry of the superconformal moduli of the NSR superstring theory in order to construct the consistent sigma-model for the NSR strings, free of picture-changing ambiguities. The sigma-model generating functional is…

Multi-cut two-matrix models are studied in the Z_k symmetry breaking k-cut (\hat p,\hat q) critical points which should correspond to (\hat p,\hat q) minimal k-fractional superstring theory. FZZT-brane or macroscopic loop amplitudes are…

Using BRST cohomology properties in pure spinor superspace and identities for OPE brackets of non-free fields, we obtain a new compact nested-bracket representation of massive tree-level three-point open-string amplitudes in which Moebius…

We extend the proposal of Berenstein, Maldacena and Nastase to Type IIB superstring propagating on pp-wave over ${\bf R}^4/{\bf Z}_k$ orbifold. We show that first-quantized free string theory is described correctly by the large $N$, fixed…

In this paper, we explicitly construct string theory backgrounds that realise the so-called $\mathcal N=2^\star$ gauge theory. We prove the consistency of our models by calculating their partition function and obtaining the correct gauge…

We explicitly compute the (NS) sector conventional type-I superstring tree-level amplitudes at five points after compactifying to 4-D, express the QFT building block in the helicity basis, and give several attempts towards arbitrary $n$…

We analyze open string vertex operators describing connection gauge fields for spin 3 in Vasiliev's frame-like formalism and perform their extended BRST analysis. Gauge symmetry transformations, generalized zero torsion constraints relating…

We provide the covariant superspace equations that are sufficient to determine the complete $\theta$ expansion of the vertex operator of the open string massive states with $(mass)^2=1/\alpha'$ in pure spinor formalism of superstring…

We develop a pure spinor worldline formalism for computing tree-level scattering amplitudes in 11D supergravity. Focusing first on the 4-point amplitude, we demonstrate that our prescription is consistent with BRST symmetry and gauge…

The exact renormalization group is applied to the world sheet theory describing bosonic open string backgrounds to obtain the equations of motion for the fields of the open string. Using loop variable techniques the equations can be…

We display the vertex operators for all states in the conformal supergravity sector of the twistor string, as outlined by Berkovits and Witten. These include `dipole' states, which are pairs of supergravitons that do not diagonalize the…

We study covariant open bosonic string field theories on multiple $Dp$-branes by using the deformed cubic string field theory which is equivalent to the string field theory in the proper-time gauge. Constructing the Fock space…

We study coupling of noncommutative gauge theories on branes to closed string in the bulk. We derive an expression for the gauge theory operator dual to the bulk graviton, both in bosonic string theory and superstring theory. In either…
