Notes on the pure spinor b ghost

High Energy Physics - Theory 2013-07-24 v2

Abstract

In this work, a particular BRST-exact class of deformations of the b ghost in the non-minimal pure spinor formalism is investigated and the impact of this construction in the N=2\mathcal{N}=2 c^=3\hat{c}=3 topological string algebra is analysed. As an example, a subclass of deformations is explicitly shown, where the U(1) current appears in a conventional form, involving only the ghost number currents. Furthermore, a c ghost like composite field is introduced, but with an unusual construction.
