The geometry of string perturbation theory

E D'Hoker, DH Phong - Reviews of Modern Physics, 1988 - APS
This paper is devoted to recent progress made towards the understanding of closed bosonic
and fermionic string perturbation theory, formulated in a Lorentz-covariant way on Euclidean …

Closed superstring field theory and its applications

C de Lacroix, H Erbin, SP Kashyap, A Sen… - International Journal of …, 2017 - World Scientific
We review recent developments in the construction of heterotic and type II string field
theories and their various applications. These include systematic procedures for determining …

Solving AdS3 string theory at minimal tension: tree-level correlators

A Dei, B Knighton, K Naderi - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We revisit the minimal tension (k= 1) string theory on AdS 3× S 3× 𝕋 4. We propose
a new free-field description of the worldsheet theory and show how localization of string …

K Becker, M Becker, JH Schwarz - 2006 - books.google.com
String theory is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of modern theoretical
physics. This book guides the reader from the basics of string theory to recent developments …

Conformal field theory of AdS background with Ramond-Ramond flux

NJ Berkovits, C Vafa, E Witten - Journal of High Energy Physics, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
We review a formalism of superstring quantization with manifest six-dimensional spacetime
supersymmetry, and apply it to AdS3× S3 backgrounds with Ramond-Ramond flux. The …

Loop corrections to superstring equations of motion

CG Callan, C Lovelace, CR Nappi, SA Yost - Nuclear Physics B, 1988 - Elsevier
We extend to the O (32) superstring our program of renormalizing string theory by cancelling
BRST anomalies between different genus worldsheets. We calculate all the anomalies …

Superstring perturbation theory revisited

E Witten - arXiv preprint arXiv:1209.5461, 2012 - arxiv.org
Perturbative superstring theory is revisited, with the goal of giving a simpler and more direct
demonstration that multi-loop amplitudes are gauge-invariant (apart from known anomalies) …

N= 4 topological strings

N Berkovits, C Vafa - Nuclear Physics B, 1995 - Elsevier
We show how to make a topological string theory starting from an N= 4 superconformal
theory. The critical dimension for this theory is c ̂= 2 (c= 6). It is shown that superstrings (in …
