Super String Field Theory Revisited
Ivo Sachs
(LMU)
Abstract:
I first describe the remarkably simple algebraic structure underlying
covariant string field theory. No knowledge of string field theory and
only very basic concepts of string theory are required for this. I
then use this structure to construct the superstring field theory
action recursively and discuss its relation to the decomposition of
(super) moduli spaces. I will focus mostly on open string theory but
will comment on the generalisation to closed string.
