Notes on the ambitwistor pure spinor string

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-05-27 v2

Abstract

In this work, some aspects of the ambitwistor pure spinor string are investigated. The bb ghost is presented and its main properties are derived in a simple way, very similar to the usual pure spinor bb ghost construction. The heterotic case is also addressed with a new proposal for the BRST charge. The BRST cohomology is shown to correctly describe the heterotic supergravity spectrum and a semi-composite bb ghost is constructed.
