Localization of effective actions in open superstring field theory

Localization of effective actions in open superstring field theory

Abstract We consider the construction of the algebraic part of D-branes tree-level effective action from Berkovits open superstring field theory. Applying this construction to the quartic potential of massless fields carrying a specific worldsheet charge, we show that the full contribution to the po...
