After adding an RNS-like fermionic vector \psi^m to the pure spinor formalism, the non-minimal b ghost takes a simple form similar to the pure spinor BRST operator. The N=2 superconformal field theory generated by the b ghost and the BRST current can be interpreted as a "dynamical twisting" of the RNS formalism where the choice of which spin half \psi^m variables are twisted into spin 0 and spin 1 variables is determined by the pure spinor variables that parameterize the coset SO(10)/U(5).

  1. Equivalence Proof of Pure Spinor and Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz Superstring Amplitudes

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    A new pure spinor amplitude prescription is proven equivalent to the RNS prescription and reduces to the original pure spinor prescription for F-term amplitudes.
