The N=2 open string | | Neil Marcus
; | | Date: |
9 Jul 1992 | | Journal: | Nucl.Phys. B387 (1992) 263-279 | | Subject: | hep-th | | Affiliation: | U of Tel-Aviv | | Abstract: | We show that the N=2 open string describes a theory of self-dual Yang Mills (SDYM) in (2,2) dimensions. The coupling to the closed sector is described by SDYM in a Kahler background, with the Yang-Mills fields providing a source term to the self-duality equation in the gravity sector. The four-point S-matrix elements of the theory vanish, so the tree-level unitarity constraints leading to the Chan-Paton construction are relaxed. By considering more general group-theory ansatze the N=2 string can be written for any gauge group, and not just the classical groups allowed for the bosonic and N=1 strings. Such ad hoc group-theory factors can not be appended to the closed N=2 string, explaining why the Z_n closed N=2 strings are trivial extensions of the Z_1 theory. | | Source: | arXiv, hep-th/9207024 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
