Abstract

On-shell supergravity vertex operators in an AdS5×S5AdS_5\times S^5 background are described in the pure spinor formalism by the zero mode cohomology of a BRST operator. After expanding the pure spinor BRST operator in terms of the AdS5AdS_5 radius variable, this cohomology is computed using N=4 harmonic superspace variables and explicit superfield expressions are obtained for the behavior of supergravity vertex operators near the boundary of AdS5AdS_5.
