We use the non-minimal pure spinor formalism to compute in a super-Poincare covariant manner the four-point massless one and two-loop open superstring amplitudes, and the gauge anomaly of the six-point one-loop amplitude. All of these…

We provide a prescription for computing two-point tree amplitudes in the pure spinor formalism that are finite and agree with the corresponding expression in the field theories. In [arXiv:1906.06051v1-arXiv:1909.03672v3], same results were…

After reviewing the Green-Schwarz superstring using the approach of Siegel, the superstring is covariantly quantized by constructing a BRST operator from the fermionic constraints and a bosonic pure spinor ghost variable. Physical massless…

In the Type II superstring the 4-point function for massless NS-NS bosons at one-loop is well known [1][14]. The overall constant factor in this amplitude is very important because it needs to satisfy the unitarity and S-duality conditions…
Using pure spinors, the superstring is covariantly quantized. For the first time, massless vertex operators are constructed and scattering amplitudes are computed in a manifestly ten-dimensional super-Poincar\'e covariant manner.…
By replacing two of the bosonic scalar superfields of the N=2 string with fermionic scalar superfields (which shifts $d_{critical}$ from (2,2) to (9,1)), a quadratic action for the ten-dimensional Green-Schwarz superstring is obtained.…
