Light-cone super-Virasoro constraints

ID: light-cone-super-virasoro-constraints

On a patch with , use worldsheet diffeomorphisms and worldsheet supersymmetry to fix and . The Virasoro constraints and superconformal current constraints then determine the longitudinal modes by the displayed transverse bilinears. In the Ramond sector, reduction of the fermionic zero modes includes the zero-mode Dirac constraint; fixing only nonzero modes does not complete the reduction. Eight transverse bosons and eight transverse fermions remain in the critical ten-dimensional RNS string.
