Supersymmetric Structure of the Bosonic String Theory in the Beltrami Parametrization

TL;DR

This paper reveals that bosonic string theory, when quantized using Beltrami parametrization, exhibits a supersymmetric structure similar to that found in topological field theories.

Contribution

It demonstrates the presence of a supersymmetric structure in bosonic string theory within the Beltrami parametrization, a novel insight linking string theory and topological field theories.

Findings

Supersymmetric structure identified in bosonic string theory with Beltrami parametrization.

Analogous to vector-supersymmetry in topological field theories.

Provides new perspective on the symmetry properties of string quantization.

Abstract

We show that the bosonic string theory quantized in the Beltrami parametrization possesses a supersymmetric structure like the vector-supersymmetry already observed in topological field theories.
