22 Apr 1992 | | Journal: | Nucl.Phys. B384 (1992) 334-351 | | Subject: | hep-th | | Abstract: | We construct a manifestly $N=(4,0)$ world-sheet supersymmetric twistor-like formulation of the $D=6$ Green-Schwarz superstring, using the principle of double (target-space and world-sheet) Grassmann analyticity. The superstring action contains two Lagrange multiplier terms and a Wess-Zumino term. They are written down in the analytic subspace of the world-sheet harmonic $N=(4,0)$ superspace, the target manifold being too an analytic subspace of the harmonic $D=6;N=1$ superspace. The kappa symmetry of the $D=6$ superstring is identified with a Kac-Moody extension of the world-sheet $N=(4,0)$ superconformal symmetry. It can be enlarged to include the whole world-sheet reparametrization group if one introduces the appropriate gauge Beltrami superfield into the action. To illustrate the basic features of the new $D=6$ superstring construction, we first give some details about the simpler (already known) twistor-like formulations of $D=3, N=(1,0)$ and $D=4, N=(2,0)$ superstrings. | | Source: | arXiv, hep-th/9204071 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
