Superstring field theory and the Wess-Zumino-Witten action [PDF]
We describe a notion of “higher” Wess-Zumino-Witten-like action which is natural in the context of superstring field theories formulated in the large Hilbert space.

RECENT PROGRESS IN SUPERSTRING THEORY
Superstring theory has continued to develop at a rapid clip in the past few years. Following a quick review of some of the major discoveries prior to 1998, this talk focuses on a few of the more recent developments. The topics I have chosen to present are 1) the use of K-theory to classify conserved charges carried by D-branes; 2) tachyon condensation ...

Resolving Witten's Superstring Field Theory [PDF]
We regulate Witten's open superstring field theory by replacing the picture-changing insertion at the midpoint with a contour integral of picture changing insertions over the half-string overlaps of the cubic vertex.

Reality of superstring field theory action [PDF]
A bstractWe determine the reality conditions on the string fields that make the action for heterotic and type II string field theories real.

Open-closed homotopy algebra in superstring field theory [PDF]
We construct open-closed superstring interactions based on the open-closed homotopy algebra structure. It provides a classical open superstring field theory on general closed-superstring-field backgrounds described by classical solutions of the ...

Superstring Loop Amplitudes from the Field Theory Limit. [PDF]
We propose a procedure to determine the moduli-space integrands of loop-level superstring amplitudes for massless external states in terms of the field theory limit. We focus on the type II superstring.

D=5 holomorphic Chern-Simons and the pure spinor superstring
The physical states of D=5 holomorphic Chern-Simons theory correspond to on-shell D=10 open superstring states in the cohomology of q +, where q + is one of the 16 spacetime supersymmetry generators.

Modular forms and SL(2, ℤ)-covariance of type IIB superstring theory [PDF]
A bstractThe local higher-derivative interactions that enter into the low-energy expansion of the effective action of type IIB superstring theory with constant complex modulus generally violate the U(1) R-symmetry of IIB supergravity by qU units.

Theory of ultracold superstrings [PDF]
The combination of a vortex line in a one-dimensional optical lattice with fermions bound to the vortex core makes up an ultracold superstring. We give a detailed derivation of the way to make this supersymmetric string in the laboratory. In particular, we discuss the presence of a fermionic bound state in the vortex core and the tuning of the laser ...

Instanton solutions in open superstring field theory
Open superstring field theory admits a “hybrid” formulation where N = 1 D = 4 supersymmetry is manifest for Calabi-Yau compactifications to four dimensions.
