We develop the 1/N expansion for stable string bit models, focusing on a model with bit creation operators carrying only transverse spinor indices a=1,...,s. At leading order (1/N=0), this model produces a (discretized) lightcone string with a transverse space of $s$ Grassmann worldsheet fields. Higher orders in the 1/N expansion are shown to be determined by the overlap of a single large closed chain (discretized string) with two smaller closed chains. In the models studied here, the overlap is not accompanied with operator insertions at the break/join point. Then the requirement that the discretized overlap have a smooth continuum limit leads to the critical Grassmann dimension of s=24. This protostring, a Grassmann analog of the bosonic string, is unusual, because it has no large transverse dimensions. It is a string moving in one space dimension and there are neither tachyons nor massless particles. The protostring, derived from our pure spinor string bit model, has 24 Grassmann dimensions, 16 of which could be bosonized to form 8 compactified bosonic dimensions, leaving 8 Grassmann dimensions--the worldsheet content of the superstring. If the transverse space of the protostring could be decompactified, string bit models might provide an appealing and solid foundation for superstring theory.
We consider scattering processes involving N gluonic massless states of open superstrings with certain Regge slope alpha. At the semi-classical level, the string world-sheet sweeps a disk and N gluons are created or annihilated at the boundary. We pr
We consider two integrable deformations of 2d sigma models on supercosets associated with AdS_n x S^n. The first, the eta-deformation (based on the Yang-Baxter sigma model), is a one-parameter generalization of the standard superstring action on AdS_
In string bit models, the superstring emerges as a very long chain of bits, in which s fermionic degrees of freedom contribute positively to the ground state energy in a way to exactly cancel the destabilizing negative contributions of d=s bosonic de
In this letter we compute the exact effective superpotential of {cal N}=1 U(N) supersymmetric gauge theories with N_f fundamental flavors and an arbitrary tree-level polynomial superpotential for the adjoint Higgs field. We use the matrix model appro
