Integrated Massive Vertex Operator in Pure Spinor Formalism

High Energy Physics - Theory 2018-12-04 v2

Abstract

We construct the integrated vertex operator for the first massive states of open superstrings with (mass)2=1/α(mass)^2=1/\alpha' in the pure spinor formalism of the superstring theory. This vertex operator is expressed in terms of the ten dimensional N=1\mathcal{N}=1 superfields describing the massive supermultiplet which appear in the unintegrated vertex operator of the same states.
