Y-formalism and b ghost in the Non-minimal Pure Spinor Formalism of Superstrings
We present the Y-formalism for the non-minimal pure spinor quantization of superstrings. In the framework of this formalism we compute, at the quantum level, the explicit form of the compound operators involved in the construction of the b ghost, their normalordering contributions and the relevant relations among them. We use these results to construct the quantum-mechanical b ghost in the non-...
متن کاملY-formalism in Pure Spinor Quantization of Superstrings
We present the Y-formalism in the pure spinor quantization of superstring theory in detail. Even if the ω−λ OPE is not completely free owing to the presence of the projector reflecting the pure spinor constraint, it is shown that one can construct at the quantum level a conformal field theory in full agreement with the Berkovits’ pure spinor formalism. The OPE’s of the two formalisms are the sa...
متن کاملMultiloop Superstring Amplitudes from Non-minimal Pure Spinor Formalism
Using the non-minimal version of the pure spinor formalism, manifestly super-Poincaré covariant superstring scattering amplitudes can be computed as in topological string theory without the need of picture-changing operators. The only subtlety comes from regularizing the functional integral over the pure spinor ghosts. In this paper, it is shown how to regularize this functional integral in a B...
متن کاملSome Superstring Amplitude Computations with the Non-minimal Pure Spinor Formalism
We use the non-minimal pure spinor formalism to compute in a super-Poincaré covariant manner the four-point massless one and two-loop open superstring amplitudes, and the gauge anomaly of the six-point one-loop amplitude. All of these amplitudes are expressed as integrals of ten-dimensional superfields in a “pure spinor superspace” which involves five θ coordinates covariantly contracted with t...
متن کاملCovariant Matrix Model of Superparticle in the Pure Spinor Formalism
On the basis of the Berkovits pure spinor formalism of covariant quantization of supermembrane, we attempt to construct a M(atrix) theory which is covariant under SO(1, 10) Lorentz group. We first construct a bosonic M(atrix) theory by starting with the first-order formalism of bosonic membrane, which precisely gives us a bosonic sector of M(atrix) theory by BFSS. Next we generalize this method...
