D = 10 superspace geometry and heterotic superstring theory (I)

Journal Article · · Mod. Phys. Letters B; (United States)
Using a Weyl transformation in superspace, the authors provide a noncanonical formulation of standard D = 10, N = 1, supergravity, including the gauge matter sector. This formulation turns out to be ideally suited for carrying out the renormalization of the Green-Schwarz sigma-model describing the D = 10 heterotic string propagating in a curved background space. By reducing the super-space results to the component level, the authors derive the supersymmetry transformation laws for the component fields of the theory.
