Taming the 11D pure spinor b-ghost
We provide an alternative compact expression for the 11D pure spinor b-ghost by introducing a new set of negative ghost number operators made out of non-minimal pure spinor variables.

The quantum theory of Chern-Simons supergravity
We consider AdS 3 N-extended Chern-Simons supergravity (à la Achucarro-Townsend) and we study its gauge symmetries. We promote those gauge symmetries to a BRST symmetry and we perform its quantization by choosing suitable gauge-fixings.

Gauge-invariant spectral description of the U (1) Higgs model from local composite operators
The spectral properties of a set of local gauge-invariant composite operators are investigated in the U(1) Higgs model quantized in the ’t Hooft R ξ gauge.

Open String Renormalization Group Flow as a Field Theory
Abstract This article shows that the integral flow‐lines of the RG‐flow of open string theory can be interpreted as the solitons of a Hořova–Lifshitz sigma‐model of open membranes. The authors argue that the effective background description of this model implies the g‐theorem of open string theory.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to prove the existence of Hadamard states for the Maxwell equations on any globally hyperbolic spacetime. This will be achieved by introducing a new gauge fixing condition, the Cauchy radiation gauge, that will allow to suppress all the unphysical degrees of freedom. The key ingredient for achieving this gauge is a new

Spin fields for the spinning particle
We propose an analogue of spin fields for the relativistic RNS-particle in 4 dimensions, in order to describe Ramond-Ramond states as “two-particle” excitations on the world line.

Superfield formulation of the Lagrangian BRST quantization method [PDF]
Lagragian quantization rules for general gauge theories are proposed on a basis of a superfield formulation of the standard BRST symmetry. Independence of the $S$-matrix on a choice of the gauge is proved.

On a different BRST constructions for a given Lie algebra [PDF]
The method of the BRST quantization is considered for the system of constraints, which form a Lie algebra. When some of the Cartan generators do not imply any conditions on the physical states, the system contains the first and the second class ...

Exploring T‐Duality for Self‐Dual Fields
Abstract Avatars of T‐duality within Sen's formalism for self‐dual field strengths in various dimensions are studied. This formalism is shown to naturally accommodate the T‐duality relation between Type IIA/IIB theories when compactified on a circle without the need for imposing the self‐duality constraint by hand, as is usually done. The study of this
