abstract

Constructing a consistent four-dimensional Lagrangian for charged massive higher-spin fields propagating in an electromagnetic background is an open problem. In 1989, Argyres and Nappi used bosonic open string field theory to construct a Lagrangian for charged massive spin-2 fields in a constant electromagnetic background. In this paper, we use the four-dimensional hybrid formalism for open superstring field theory to construct a supersymmetric Lagrangian for charged massive spin-2 and spin-3/2 fields in a constant electromagnetic background. The hybrid formalism has the advantage over the RNS formalism of manifest $\mathcal{N}=1$ d=4 spacetime supersymmetry so that the spin-2 and spin-3/2 fields are combined into a single superfield and there is no need for picture-changing or spin fields.

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Massive higher-spin fields in 3D can couple to electromagnetic backgrounds via the Bogomolny equation, with g=1/s, obtained by dimensional reduction of 4D higher-spin self-dual Yang-Mills theory.

  2. Vertex operators for the superstring with manifest $d=6$ $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A manifestly d=6 N=1 supersymmetric vertex operator and amplitude prescription are constructed for the superstring, with BRST invariance implying the SYM equations of motion.
