    Worldsheet dilatation operator for the AdSAdS superstring

    Get PDF
    In this work we propose a systematic way to compute the logarithmic divergences of composite operators in the pure spinor description of the AdS5Ă—S5AdS_5\times S^5 superstring. The computations of these divergences can be summarized in terms of a dilatation operator acting on the local operators. We check our results with some important composite operators of the formalism.Comment: 35 page

    Supertwistor description of the AdSAdS pure spinor string

    Get PDF
    We describe the pure spinor string in the AdS5Ă—S5AdS_5\times S^5 using unconstrained matrices first used by Roiban and Siegel for the Green-Schwarz superstring.Comment: 20 page

    Consistency of Super-Poincare Covariant Superstring Tree Amplitudes

    Get PDF
    Using pure spinors, the superstring was recently quantized in a manifestly ten-dimensional super-Poincar\'e covariant manner and a covariant prescription was given for tree-level scattering amplitudes. In this paper, we prove that this prescription is cyclically symmetric and, for the scattering of an arbitrary number of massless bosons and up to four massless fermions, it agrees with the standard Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz prescription.Comment: 12 pages harvmac (large

    AdS pure spinor superstring in constant backgrounds

    Get PDF
    In this paper we study the pure spinor formulation of the superstring in AdS5Ă—S5AdS_5\times S^5 around point particle solutions of the classical equations of motion. As a particular example we quantize the pure spinor string in the BMN background.Comment: 17 pages. Typos corrected. References adde

    Master symmetry in the AdS5Ă—S5AdS_5\times S^5 pure spinor string

    Get PDF
    We lift the set of classical non-local symmetries recently studied by Klose, Loebbert, and M\"unkler in the context of Z2\mathbb Z_2 cosets to the pure spinor description of the superstring in the AdS5Ă—S5AdS_5\times S^5 background.Comment: 16 page
