N.D. Lambert, P.C. West
TL;DR
This paper presents a spacetime supersymmetric framework for describing D-branes and open strings in the Green-Schwarz formalism, including mechanisms for projecting out certain states to produce chiral theories.
Contribution
It provides a manifestly supersymmetric description of D-branes and open strings, and introduces a projection mechanism for obtaining chiral quantum field theories on the branes.
Findings
Supersymmetric spectrum of open strings and D-branes derived.
Projection mechanism for chiral theories on D-branes discussed.
Manifest spacetime supersymmetry achieved in the formalism.
Abstract
We give a basic account of supersymmetric open strings and D-branes using the Green-Schwarz formalism, obtaining a manifestly spacetime supersymmetric description of their spectrum. In addition we discuss a mechanism whereby some of the D-brane states are projected out and which can lead to chiral quantum field theories on the brane.
