By "untwisting" the construction of Berkovits and Vafa, one can see that the N=1 superstring contains a topological twisted N=2 algebra, with central charge c^ = 2. We discuss to what extent the superstring is actually a topological theory.

BMS-like algebras: canonical realisations and BRST quantisation
hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

A family of Weyl λ-BMS algebras is realized canonically from a Klein-Gordon field, centrally extended, and shown to have BRST cohomology matching an N=2 superconformal chiral ring, while the conformal BMS W-algebra is...
