Classical AdS superstring mechanics

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We analyze the anti-de Sitter (AdS) superparticle and superstring systems described in terms of supermatrix valued coordinates proposed by Roiban and Siegel. This approach gives simple symmetry transformations and equations of motion. We examine their kappa-transformations, infinite reducibility and kappa-gauge fixing conditions. A closed first class constraint set for the AdS superparticle is GL(4|4) covariant and keeping superconformal symmetry manifestly. For the AdS superstring sigma-dependence breaks the GL(4|4) covariance, where supercovariant derivatives and currents satisfy the inhomogeneous GL(4|4). A closed first class constraint set for the AdS superstring turns out to be the same as the one for a superstring in flat space, namely ABCD constraints.
