In this paper we revisit Berkovits' pure spinor formalism in lower dimensions. We are particularly interested in relating a six-dimensional pure spinor action previously constructed in the literature to other superstring formalisms. In order to gain some insight into six-dimensional pure spinors, we first derive their action by gauge-fixing the classical six-dimensional Green-Schwarz action. We then consider a hybrid pure spinor construction in which the spacetime symmetries of six of the ten dimensions are described in pure spinor variables, while the remaining four dimensions are parameterized in terms of RNS variables. We relate this pure spinor formalism to the Berkovits-Vafa-Witten hybrid formalism of string theory on R^6 x T^4.

    A manifestly d=6 N=1 supersymmetric vertex operator and amplitude prescription are constructed for the superstring, with BRST invariance implying the SYM equations of motion.

    A manifestly supersymmetric and quantizable worldsheet action for the mixed-flux AdS3 x S3 x T4 superstring is constructed and shown to be one-loop conformal.
