Master Action in flat space
The case of flat space in pure spinor formalism is actually a somewhat singular limit of the general
curved background. The coefficient in front of goes to
infinity; one needs to pass to the first order formalism .
(Explicit formulas can be found here.)The main formulas are listed here.
The fundamental fields are
.
It is useful to introduce in addition the following composite fields ,
which are defined in terms of those fundamental:
(TODO: verify coefficients):
The BV Master Action is:
Notice that both and are constrained:
The Hamiltonian generating the action of left conformal transformations on the left fields is easy to write:
It must be true that it is BV-exact:
where is the BV Hamiltonian generating the holomorphic symmetry corresponding to
the Noether charge .
Notice that as a consequence of the nilpotence
of the -ghost.
In any case, in order to construct the base , we need to solve
the equation for :
