Abstract

It is established that in the tensionless limit the chiral superstring integrand is reduced to the chiral integrand of the ambitwistor string.

Highlights

  • JHEP10(2021)171 it may be formally obtained as a low-energy (α → 0) limit of the RNS string [13], a more careful analysis seems to indicate that the two are better related by the tensionless (α → ∞) limit [18, 19]

  • In this letter, considering the latter viewpoint, by direct computation of the chiral integrand [20] of superstring NS states we demonstrate that it reduces to the corresponding half integrand in the ambitwistor string as the tensionless limit is approached

  • The scattering of n NS states in superstring perturbation theory is defined by a formal integral over the supermoduli space Mg,n of super Riemann surfaces with n NS punctures dμg,n |δ(HA|B)|2 B,C × On where HA is a basis of Beltrami superdifferentials and B and C are ghost superfields encoding the bc and βγ systems such that

Summary

Holomorphic factorization of superstring scattering amplitudes

The scattering of n NS states in superstring perturbation theory is defined by a formal integral over the supermoduli space Mg,n (with measure dμg,n) of super Riemann surfaces with n NS punctures dμg,n |δ(HA|B)|2 B,C × On. where HA is a basis of Beltrami superdifferentials and B and C are ghost superfields encoding the bc and βγ systems such that. The chiral fields x+(z) and ψ(z) are purely holomorphic and obey (given a spin structure δ) the operator product expansions xμ+(z)xν+(z ) ∼ −ημνα ln(E(z, z )). Where E(zi, zj) is the prime form on a genus g Riemann surface and Sδ(zi, zj) is the genus g Szego kernel for spin structure δ. The loop momenta pI are defined as monodromies of the chiral ∂x+ fields around the AI cycles of the Riemann surface. The constants ηδ and ηδ take values ±1 and perform the GSO projection based on the combination chosen
