The BRST cohomology of the N=2 string
Creators
Description
In this paper, we prove by rigorous calculation that BRST cohomology and old covariant quantization give the same spectra for the N=2-supersymmetric string. This confirms an old conjecture, but the precise mechanism by which it happens is more subtle than assumed, and may shed new light on BRST at extended supersymmetry
