Pure Spinor Vertex Operators in Siegel Gauge and Loop Amplitude Regularization
Since the b ghost in the pure spinor formalism is a composite operator depending on non-minimal variables, it is not trivial to impose the Siegel gauge condition b0V = 0 on BRST-invariant vertex operators. Using the antifield vertex operator V ∗ of ghost-number +2, we show that Siegel gauge unintegrated vertex operators can be constructed as b0V ∗ and Siegel gauge integrated vertex operators as...
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 کاملEquivalence of Two - Loop Superstring Amplitudes in the Pure Spinor and RNS Formalisms
The pure spinor formalism for the superstring has recently been used to compute massless four-point two-loop amplitudes in a manifestly super-Poincaré covariant manner. In this paper, we show that when all four external states are Neveu-Schwarz, the two-loop amplitude coincides with the RNS result.
متن کاملTESE DE DOUTORAMENTO IFT–T.007/08 Superstring Scattering Amplitudes with the Pure Spinor Formalism
This thesis discusses how the pure spinor formalism can be used to efficiently compute superstring scattering amplitudes. We emphasize the pure spinor superspace form of the kinematic factors, where the simplifying features of this language have allowed an explicit relation among the massless four-point amplitudes at tree-level, oneand twoloops to be found. We show how these identities elegantl...
متن کاملMultiloop Amplitudes and Vanishing Theorems using the Pure Spinor Formalism for the Superstring Nathan Berkovits
A ten-dimensional super-Poincaré covariant formalism for the superstring was recently developed which involves a BRST operator constructed from superspace matter variables and a pure spinor ghost variable. A super-Poincaré covariant prescription was defined for computing tree amplitudes and was shown to coincide with the standard RNS prescription. In this paper, picture-changing operators are u...
