BRST-invariant N-superstring vertices

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

The technique in the operator formalism on Riemann surfaces is used to derive a general form of Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin- (BRST-)invariant N-string vertices for superstrings in the Neveu-Schwarz-Ramond formalism. We show how to construct manifestly OSp(2chemically bond1)-invariant vertices for the scattering of N Neveu-Schwarz strings and SL(2)-invariant vertices involving Ramond strings. It is also explicitly demonstrated that all these vertices are BRST invariant.
