Thermodynamic Partition Function of Matrix Superstrings
, 2001 We show that, in the limit of zero string coupling, $g_s \to 0$, the thermodynamic partition function of matrix string theory is identical to that of the finite temperature, discrete light-cone quantised (DLCQ) type IIA superstring.

Nuclear Physics B, 1990 We construct a class of cubic gauge-invariant actions for superstring field theory, gauge fix one of them and show that it reproduces the known superstring S-matrix. In our construction boson string fields are taken in the 0 picture and fermion string fields in the −12 picture.

Holomorphic field theories and higher algebra
Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 57, Issue 10, Page 2903-2974, October 2025.Abstract Aimed at complex geometers and representation theorists, this survey explores higher dimensional analogs of the rich interplay between Riemann surfaces, Virasoro and Kac‐Moody Lie algebras, and conformal blocks. We introduce a panoply of examples from physics — field theories that are holomorphic in nature, such as holomorphic Chern‐Simons ...

Worldsheet formalism for decoupling limits in string theory
Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe study the bosonic sector of a decoupling limit of type IIA superstring theory, where a background Ramond-Ramond one-form is fined tuned to its critical value, such that it cancels the associated background D0-brane tension.

On finite-size d-branes in superstring theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We test exact marginality of the deformation describing the blow-up of a zero- size D(−1) brane bound to a background of D3-branes by analyzing the equations of motion of superstring field theory to third order in the size.

STRINGY EVIDENCE FOR D=11 STRUCTURE IN STRONGLY COUPLED TYPE II-A SUPERSTRING [PDF]
, 1995 Witten proposed that the low energy physics of strongly coupled D=10 type-IIA superstring may be described by D=11 supergravity. To explore the stringy aspects of the underlying theory we examine the stringy massive states.

D-term inflation in superstring theories [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 1998 An inflationary stage dominated by a $D$-term avoids the slow-roll problem of inflation in supergravity and may emerge in theories with a non-anomalous or anomalous U(1) gauge symmetry. The most intriguing and commonly invoked possibility is that the Fayet-Iliopoulos $D$-term triggering inflation is the one emerging in superstring theories.

Dark Dimension With (Little) Strings Attached
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 73, Issue 4, April 2025.Abstract A relation between dark energy and the scale of new physics in weakly coupled string theory is motivated. This mixing between infrared and ultraviolet physics leads to a unique corner for real‐world phenomenology: barring fine‐tunings, the authors are naturally led to the “dark dimension” scenario, a single mesoscopic extra dimension of micron

What lattice theorists can do for superstring/M-theory
, 2016 The gauge/gravity duality provides us with nonperturbative formulation of superstring/M-theory. Although inputs from gauge theory side are crucial for answering many deep questions associated with quantum gravitational aspects of superstring/M-theory ...
