Equivalence of Two-Loop Superstring Amplitudes in the Pure Spinor and RNS Formalisms

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-11 v2

Abstract

The pure spinor formalism for the superstring has recently been used to compute massless four-point two-loop amplitudes in a manifestly super-Poincare 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.
