Abstract

By extending the six-dimensional hybrid formalism for the superstring to include d=6d=6 N=1\mathcal{N}=1 superspace variables along with unconstrained bosonic ghost fields, we construct a manifestly spacetime supersymmetric vertex operator UU. We demonstrate that the BRST invariance of UU implies the d=6d=6 N=1\mathcal{N}=1 SYM equations of motion in superspace. Furthermore, we show that spacetime supersymmetric scattering amplitudes can be computed in a manner analogous to that of the non-minimal pure spinor formalism.
