The ten-dimensional superparticle is covariantly quantized by constructing a BRST operator from the fermionic Green-Schwarz constraints and a bosonic pure spinor variable. This same method was recently used for covariantly quantizing the…

The quantization of the Brink-Schwarz-Casalbuoni superparticle is performed in an explicitly covariant way using the antibracket formalism. Since an infinite number of ghost fields are required, within a suitable off-shell twistor-like…

We describe a canonical covariant approach to the quantization of the Green-Schwarz superstring. The approach is first applied to the canonical covariant quantization of the Brink and Schwarz superparticle. The Kallosh action is obtained in…

We describe a canonical covariant formulation of the Green-Schwarz Superstring which allows the construction of a new covariant action canonically equivalent to the Green-Schwarz action but subjected only to first class constraints. From…

Gauge invariant complex covariant actions for superparticles are derived from the field equations for the chiral superfields in a precise manner. The massive and massless cases in four dimensions are treated both free and in interaction…

A manifestly Poincare invariant formulations for $SO(1,10)$ and SO(2,9) superstring actions are proposed. The actions are invariant under a local fermionic $\kappa$-symmetry as well as under a number of global symmetries, which turn out to…

This paper is devoted to the quantization of the second-ilk superparticle using the Batalin-Vilkovisky method. We show the full structure of the master action. By imposing gauge conditions on the gauge fields rather than on coordinates we…

After adding a scalar chiral boson to the usual superspace variables, the four-dimensional Green-Schwarz superstring is quantized in a manifestly SO(3,1) super-Poincar\'e covariant manner. The constraints are all first-class and form an N=2…

We develop an approach based on the Noether method to construct nilpotent BRST charges and BRST-invariant actions. We apply this approach first to the holomorphic part of the flat-space covariant superstring, and we find that the ghosts b,…

We construct superstring theories that obey the new supersymmetry algebra {Q_a , Q_b}=\gamma_{ab}^{mn} P_{1m} P_{2n}, in a Green-Schwarz formalism, with kappa supersymmetry also of the new type. The superstring is in a system with a…

A method is presented for the computation of the one-loop effective action at finite temperature and density. The method is based on an expansion in the number of spatial covariant derivatives. It applies to general background field…

We derive the complete covariant action for the type IIA superstring in a simple D=10 background which represents a 7-brane with a magnetic Ramond-Ramond vector field (and is U-dual to the Kaluza-Klein Melvin solution). This curved…

The main results are: 1. A manifestly covariant technique for the calculation of De Witt coefficients is elaborated; 2. The coefficients $a_3$ and $a_4$ are calculated; 3. Covariant methods for the study of the nonlocal structure of the…

We construct a gauge-invariant action for covariant type II string field theory in the NS-NS sector. Our construction is based on the large Hilbert space description and Zwiebach's string products are used. First, we rewrite the action for…

After reviewing the Green-Schwarz superstring using the approach of Siegel, the superstring is covariantly quantized by constructing a BRST operator from the fermionic constraints and a bosonic pure spinor ghost variable. Physical massless…

We present the covariant BRST quantization of the super-D-string. The non-vanishing supersymmetric U(1) field strength ${\cal F}$ is essential for the covariant quantization of the super-D-string as well as for its static picture. A SO(2)…

We generalize to p-dimensional extended objects and type II superstrings a recently proposed Green-Schwarz type I superstring action in which the tension $T$ emerges as an integration constant of the equations of motion. The action is…

The classical Green-Schwarz superstring action, with N=1 or N=2 spacetime supersymmetry, exists for spacetime dimensions D=3,4,6,10, but quantization in the light-cone gauge breaks Lorentz invariance unless either D=10, which leads to…

The covariant and kappa-symmetric action for superstring in direct product of two flat D=10 N=1 superspaces is presented. It is given by the sum of supersymmetric generalization of two copies of chiral boson actions constructed with the use…

Deriglazov and Galajinsky have recently proposed a new covariant action for the Green-Schwarz superstring which can be constructed in any spacetime dimension. In this short note, I show that their action contains extra on-shell degrees of…
