Introduction to the Pure Spinor Formalism for the Superstring |
Nous sommes heureux de procurer en français, sur ce site web, les informations concernant le fonctionnement general de l'institut Perimeter. Nous pouvons aussi procurer en
français toutes informations additionelles sur demande.
Instructor: Nathan Berkovits, Instituto de Física Teórica, Universidade Estadual Paulista
Type: Perimeter Institute non-credit mini-course
Dates: August 24-26, 2011; 10:30 am, Alice Room Because d=10 super-Poincare covariance is manifest and the worldsheet action is free in a flat background, the pure spinor formalism for the superstring does not suffer from the problems of the RNS or Green-Schwarz formalisms. In the first lecture, d=10 super-Yang-Mills and supergravity will be naturally described in this formalism. In the second lecture, the superstring action will be described in curved backgrounds including the AdS_5xS^5 Ramond-Ramond background. And in the third lecture, multiloop superstring scattering amplitudes will be computed.
