Chiral fermion action with (8,0) worldsheet supersymmetry

TL;DR

This paper introduces a new action for chiral fermions that incorporates (8,0) worldsheet supersymmetry, inspired by twistor-like formulations of the heterotic superstring, enabling more comprehensive modeling of gauge interactions.

Contribution

It presents a novel action for chiral fermions with (8,0) supersymmetry, extending the twistor-like approach to the D=10 heterotic superstring.

Findings

Provides a manifestly supersymmetric action for chiral fermions.

Enables arbitrary gauge group incorporation.

Advances the twistor-like formulation of superstring theory.

Abstract

We propose an action describing chiral fermions with an arbitrary gauge group and with manifest $(8,0)$ worldsheet supersymmetry. The form of the action is inspired by and adapted for completing the twistor-like formulation of the $D=10$ heterotic superstring.
