17. 17 Superstring vertex operator from type IIB matrix model Example: graviton Graviton vertex operators include the contribution such as In the second term, although there are four right-handed spinors, there is no left-handed spinor. Since we have defined the Fock space of this theory as that of closed string states, level matching condition forbids the contribution from these terms.
