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):

(1)

(2)

The BV Master Action is:

Notice that both and are constrained:

(3)

The Hamiltonian generating the action of left conformal transformations on the left fields is easy to write:

(4)

It must be true that it is BV-exact:

(5)

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 :
