Light-cone Gauge NSR Strings in Noncritical Dimensions


Abstract in English

Light-cone gauge NSR string theory in noncritical dimensions should correspond to a string theory with a nonstandard longitudinal part. Supersymmetrizing the bosonic case [arXiv:0909.4675], we formulate a superconformal worldsheet theory for the longitudinal variables X^{pm}, psi^{pm}. We show that with the transverse variables and the ghosts combined, it is possible to construct a nilpotent BRST charge.
