Self-dual gauge fields from superstring field theory

摘要

The action for self-dual gauge fields that emerges from the recently constructed superstring field theory is found. The new superstring field theory reduces to that of Sen in a certain limit, and in this limit the new action for self-dual gauge fields reduces to Sen’s action for such fields. The theory describes two decoupled self-dual gauge fields that couple to two metrics, with each gauge field coupling to only one of the metrics. The action also features a background metric, and the non-linear coupling to these three metrics is non-standard. There are two spin-two gauge invariances, and diffeomorphisms arise from the diagonal subgroup.
