Higher-Point Gauge-Theory Couplings of Massive Spin-2 States in 4-Dimensional String Theories
Abstract: We explicitly compute the (NS) sector conventional type-I superstring tree-level amplitudes at five points after compactifying to 4-D, express the QFT building block in the helicity basis, and give several attempts towards arbitrary $n$ points. More specifically, we consider the interaction of one first excited level and otherwise massless states of conventional type-I superstrings, where the four-dimensional states can, for instance, be realized via D$3$ branes. We construct the amplitude by using the Berends-Giele currents. From the recursion of Berends-Giele currents, we can generate the higher point amplitude. We also apply the BCFW recursion with massive external legs shifted and get the amplitude for arbitrary $n$ points.
