(ii) all the excitations of off-diagonal modes become massive. In the low energy limit, Gauge fields on 2-dim decouple to other fields. 7 Green-Schwarz superstring from IIB matrix model (iii) Mapping the coordinate system from R 2 into R 1 S 1 : We identify the eigenvalue w : a winding number along direction Then, the integral is described as 8 Green-Schwarz superstring from IIB matrix model By the rescaling we obtain the action: Multiple strings are obtained in general. n= a w a By identifying, we obtain Green-Schwarz light-cone superstring action. 9 Supersymmetry transformation N=2 supersymmetry transformation in IIB matrix model : On the 2-dim NC background, it reduces in the low energy limit to This transformation leaves the Green-Schwarz light-cone superstring action invariant. 10 Vertex operators in IIB matrix model Vertex operators (type IIB supergravity multiplet) [Kitazawa (2002), Iso-Terachi-Umetsu (2004), Kitazawa-Mizoguchi-Saito (2006)] Dilaton vertex operator: Dilatino vertex operator: : Graviton vertex operator: : where Graviton, gravitino, B and C 4 are completely determined. 11 Superstring vertex operators in IIB matrix model 1) Trace 2-dim background 8 scalar fields, 16 spinor fields By the scaling, and the field redefinition, we obtain where dimension (1,1) operators in () are proportional to 1. 12 Superstring vertex operators in IIB matrix model 2) Physical states In IIB matrix model, we construct closed string states in a radial quantization as the product of separate states corresponding to the left and right movers. Open string physical states |, k > are obtained by inserting the vertex operators in the far past There are (8+8) massless ground states in each sector: | i >, | > They are mapped to each other 13 Superstring vertex operators in IIB matrix model 3) Chirality Since left and right mover of the fermion have an opposite chirality in 2-dimension, we factorize operators by their chiralities. 4) Type IIB type IIA Type IIA supergravity modes are derived by singling out the light-cone direction.
