Superfield approaches to a model of bosonic string: Curci-Ferrari-type restrictions (Q2084483)

Summary: Exploiting the theoretical potential of the \textit{modified} Bonora-Tonin superfield approach (MBTSA) as well as the (anti-)chiral superfield approach (ACSA) to Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism, we derive the \textit{complete} set of off-shell nilpotent (anti-)BRST symmetry transformations corresponding to the \textit{classical} two- \((1+1)\) dimensional (2D) diffeomorphism symmetry transformations on the worldsheet (that is traced out by the motion of a model of bosonic string). Only the BRST symmetry transformations for \textit{this} model have been discussed in the \textit{earlier} literature. We derive the (anti-)BRST invariant Curci-Ferrari-(CF-)type restrictions (using MBTSA) which turn out to be the root cause behind the absolute anticommutativity of the above (anti-)BRST symmetry transformations. We capture the symmetry invariance of the (anti-)BRST invariant Lagrangian densities within the ambit of ACSA. The derivation of the \textit{proper} anti-BRST transformations (corresponding to the \textit{already}-known BRST transformations) and the (anti-)BRST invariant CF-type restrictions are the \textit{novel} results in our present endeavor.
