    The generalized no-ghost theorem for N=2 SUSY critical strings

    Full text link
    We prove the no-ghost theorem for the N=2 SUSY strings in (2,2) dimensional flat Minkowski space. We propose a generalization of this theorem for an arbitrary geometry of the N=2 SUSY string theory taking advantage of the N=4 SCA generators present in this model. Physical states are found to be the highest weight states of the N=4 SCA.Comment: 13

    Light-Cone Quantization of the Liouville Model

    Full text link
    We present the quantization of the Liouville model defined in light-cone coordinates in (1,1) signature space. We take advantage of the representation of the Liouville field by the free field of the Backl\"{u}nd transformation and adapt the approch by Braaten, Curtright and Thorn. Quantum operators of the Liouville field ∂+ϕ\partial_{+}\phi, ∂−ϕ\partial_{-}\phi, egϕe^{g\phi}, e2gϕe^{2g\phi} are constructed consistently in terms of the free field. The Liouville model field theory space is found to be restricted to the sector with field momentum P+=−P−P_{+}=-P_{-}, P+>0P_{+}> 0 , which is a closed subspace for the Liouville theory operator algebra.Comment: 16 p, EFI-92-6
