Integrated vertex = deformation of the action
Suppose that we infinitesimally deformed the solution of the Master Equation by adding to it
some integrated vertex operator In order for this to satisfy the Master Equation to the first order in
we require:
as we deform
, what should we do with
?
The answer is simple if
satisfies the Siegel gauge:
In this case
remains undeformed.
On the next page we will explain what happens when Eq. (3) is not satisfied.
