On worldsheet curvature coupling in pure spinor sigma-model

Abstract

We discuss the relation between unintegrated and integrated vertex operators in string worldsheet theory, in the context of BV formalism. In particular, we clarify the origin of the Fradkin-Tseytlin term. We first consider the case of bosonic string, and then concentrate on the case of pure spinor superstring in AdS5×S5AdS_5\times S^5. In particular, we compute the action of b0bˉ0b_0 - \bar{b}_0 on the beta-deformation vertex. As a by-product, we formulate some new conjectures on general finite-dimensional vertices.
