We complete the construction of the Neveu-Schwarz sector of heterotic string field theory begun in hep-th/0406212 by giving a closed-form expression for the action and gauge transformations. Just as the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) action for open superstring field theory can be constructed from pure-gauge fields in bosonic open string field theory, our heterotic string field theory action is constructed from pure-gauge fields in bosonic closed string field theory. The construction involves a simple alternative form of the WZW action which is consistent with the algebraic structures of closed string field theory.

  1. Heterotic String Field Theory with Manifest Spacetime Supersymmetry

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A quadratic heterotic string field theory action is built with manifest N=1 d=4 supersymmetry, and its massless Calabi-Yau independent sector matches N=1 d=4 supergravity plus a tensor multiplet.
