Chern-Simons Origin of Superstring Integrability

Costello, K. & Stefanski, B. (2020). Chern-Simons Origin of Superstring Integrability. Physical Review Letters, 125(12), pp. 1-6. doi: 10.1103/physrevlett.125.121602

Abstract

We derive the AdS5×S5 Green-Schwarz superstring from four-dimensional Beltrami-Chern-Simons theory reduced on a manifold with singular boundary conditions. In this construction, the Lax connection and spectral parameter of the integrable superstring have a simple geometric origin in four dimensions as gauge connection and reduction coordinate. Kappa symmetry arises as a certain class of singular gauge transformations, while the worldsheet metric comes from complex-structure-changing Beltrami differentials. Our approach offers the possibility of investigating integrable holography using traditional field theory methods.
