if they are implemented in terms of a right action of a subgroup of the supergroup G on the supergroup elements which represent the coset. Unlike the global left action of G on G/H (which gives rise to supersymmetry on the coset superspace), there is no canonically defined right action of G on G/H. However

We construct the covariant κ-symmetric superstring action for type IIB superstring on plane wave space supported by Ramond-Ramond background. The action is defined as a 2d sigma-model on the coset superspace. We fix the fermionic and bosonic light-cone gauges in the covariant Green-Schwarz

Abstract: We consider classical strings propagating in a background generated by a sequence of TsT transformations. We describe a general procedure to derive the Green-Schwarz action for strings. We show that the U(1) isometry variables of the TsT-transformed background are related to the isometry

Utilizing (2,0) superfields, we write a (supersymmetry) 2 action and partially relate it to the new formulation of the Green-Schwarz action given by Berkovits and Siegel. Recent results derived from this new formulation are discussed within the context of some prior proposals in the literature

We describe a canonical covariant formulation of the Green-Schwarz Superstring which allows the construction of a new covariant action canonically equivalent to the Green-Schwarz action but subjected only to first class constraints. From this action the correct BRST operator for the quantization

The κ-symmetry-fixed Green-Schwarz action in the AdS5 × S5 background is treated canonically in a version of the light-cone gauge. After reviewing the generalized light-cone gauge for a bosonic sigma model, we present the Hamiltonian dynamics of the Green-Schwarz action by using the transverse

An action for the ten-dimensional Green-Schwarz superstring with N=2 worldsheet superconformal invariance has recently been used to calculate superstring scattering amplitudes and prove their finiteness. In this paper, it is shown that the N=2 stress-energy tensor for this Green-Schwarz action can

The manifestly SU(4)xU(1) super-Poincaré invariant free-field N=2 twistor-string action for the ten-dimensional Green-Schwarz superstring is quantized using standard BRST methods. Unlike the light-cone and semi-light-cone gauge-fixed Green-Schwarz actions, the twistor-string action does not require

Green-Schwarz action of Type IIB string on AdS3 × S 3 is constructed via coset superspace approach. The construction relies exclusively on symplectically Majorana-Weyl spinor formalism, thus permitting it easier to prove κ-symmetry for on-shell Type IIB supergravity backgrounds. 1
