Covariant quantization of superstrings based on Becchi-Rouet-Stora invariance
Journal Article
·
· Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
A manifestly covariant quantization of the superstring is presented in the Neveu-Schwarz-Ramond formalism on the basis of the Becchi-Rouet-Stora (BRS) invariance principle. The critical dimension D = 10 and the correct Regge intercept are shown to follow from the requirement of the nilpotency Q/sub B/ /sup 2/ = 0 of the BRS charge. A modified form of the subsidiary condition of Kugo and Ojima Q/sub B/Vertical Barphys> = 0 to define the physical subspace is sufficient to demonstrate the no-ghost theorem.
