Abstract

The full cohomology ring of the Lian-Zuckerman type operators (states) in c^M<1{\hat c_M}<1 Neveu-Schwarz-Ramond (NSR) string theory is argued to be generated by three elements xx, yy and ww in analogy with the corresponding results in the bosonic case. The ground ring generators xx and yy are non-invertible and belong to the Ramond sector whereas the higher ghost number operators are generated by an invertible element ww with ghost number one less than that of the ground ring generators and belongs to either Neveu-Schwarz (NS) or Ramond (R) sector depending on whether we consider (even, even) or (odd, odd) series coupled to 2d2d supergravity. We explicitly construct these operators (states) and illustrate our result with an example of pure Liouville supergravity.
