The $b$-ghost of the pure spinor formalism in a general curved background is not holomorphic. For such theories, the construction of the string measure requires the knowledge of the action of diffeomorphisms on the BV phase space. We construct such an action for the pure spinor sigma-model in $AdS_5times S^5$. From the point of view of the BV formalism, this sigma-model belongs to the class of theories where the expansion of the Master Action in antifields terminates at the quadratic order. We show that it can be reduced to a simpler degenerate sigma-model, preserving the AdS symmetries. We construct the action of the algebra of worldsheet vector fields on the BV phase space of this minimalistic sigma-model, and explain how to lift it to the original model.

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 $AdS_5times S^5$. In particular, we compute the action of $b_0 - bar{b}_0$ on the beta-deformation vertex. As a by-product, we formulate some new conjectures on general finite-dimensional vertices.
In the pure spinor formalism for the superstring, the b-ghost is a composite operator satisfying {Q,b}=T where Q is the pure spinor BRST operator and T is the holomorphic stress tensor. The b-ghost is holomorphic in a flat target-space background, bu t it is not holomorphic in a generic curved target-space background and instead satisfies $barpartial b$ = [Q, Omega] for some Omega. In this paper, Omega is explicitly constructed for the case of an open superstring in a super-Maxwell background.
The pure spinor formulation of superstring theory includes an interacting sector of central charge $c_{lambda}=22$, which can be realized as a curved $betagamma$ system on the cone over the orthogonal Grassmannian $text{OG}^{+}(5,10)$. We find that t he spectrum of the $betagamma$ system organizes into representations of the $mathfrak{g}=mathfrak{e}_6$ affine algebra at level $-3$, whose $mathfrak{so}(10)_{-3}oplus {mathfrak u}(1)_{-4}$ subalgebra encodes the rotational and ghost symmetries of the system. As a consequence, the pure spinor partition function decomposes as a sum of affine $mathfrak{e}_6$ characters. We interpret this as an instance of a more general pattern of enhancements in curved $betagamma$ systems, which also includes the cases $mathfrak{g}=mathfrak{so}(8)$ and $mathfrak{e}_7$, corresponding to target spaces that are cones over the complex Grassmannian $text{Gr}(2,4)$ and the complex Cayley plane $mathbb{OP}^2$. We identify these curved $betagamma$ systems with the chiral algebras of certain $2d$ $(0,2)$ CFTs arising from twisted compactification of 4d $mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs on $S^2$.
We develop the representation of free spinor fields in the bulk of Lorentzian anti-de Sitter space in terms of smeared operators in the dual conformal field theory. To do this we expand the bulk field in a complete set of normalizable modes, work out the extrapolate dictionary for spinor fields, and show that the bulk field can be reconstructed from its near-boundary behavior. In some cases chirality and reality conditions can be imposed in the bulk. We study the action of the CFT modular Hamiltonian on bulk fermions to show that they transform with the expected spinor Lie derivative, and we calculate bulk--boundary two-point functions starting from CFT correlators.

The pure spinor formulation of the ten-dimensional superstring leads to manifestly supersymmetric loop amplitudes, expressed as integrals in pure spinor superspace. This paper explores different methods to evaluate these integrals and then uses them to calculate the kinematic factors of the one-loop and two-loop massless four-point amplitudes involving two and four Ramond states.
