N=2 Superconformal Description of Superstring in Ramond-Ramond Plane Wave Backgrounds

arXiv:hep-th/0208092 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2002/10/059

Abstract

Using the U(4) formalism developed ten years ago, the worldsheet action for the superstring in Ramond-Ramond plane wave backgrounds is expressed in a manifestly N=(2,2) superconformally invariant manner. This simplifies the construction of consistent Ramond-Ramond plane wave backgrounds and eliminates the problems associated with light-cone interaction point operators.
