Quantization of the type II superstring in a curved six-dimensional background

Berkovits, Nathan [UNESP]2014-05-272014-05-272000-01-17Nuclear Physics B, v. 565, n. 1-2, p. 333-344, 2000.0550-3213http://hdl.handle.net/11449/66092A sigma model action with N = 2 D = 6 superspace variables is constructed for the Type II superstring compactified to six curved dimensions with Ramond - Ramond flux. The action can be quantized since the sigma model is linear when the six-dimensional space-time is flat. When the six-dimensional space-time is AdS 3 × S 3, the action reduces to one found earlier with Vafa and Witten. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
