Nonrenormalization of the superstring tension
Abstract
It is argued that the superstring tension is not renormalized in perturbation theory for vacua which preserve N=1 spacetime supersymmetry. Some implications of this result for macroscopic superstrings are discussed, as well as some analogies between macroscopic superstrings and solitons in supersymmetric theories.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
