Stefanski, B. (2004). Plane-wave lightcone superstring field theory. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 21(10), S1305-S1311. doi: 10.1088/0264-9381/21/10/003

Abstract

We construct the cubic interaction vertex and dynamically generated supercharges in lightcone superstring field theory for a large class half-supersymmetric D-branes in the planewave background. We show that these satisfy the plane-wave superalgebra at first order in string coupling. The cubic interaction vertex and dynamical supercharges presented here are given explicitly in terms of oscilators and can be used to compute three-point functions of open strings with endpoints on half-supersymmetric D-branes.
