Some Superstring Amplitude Computations with the Non-Minimal Pure Spinor Formalism

Abstract

We use the non-minimal pure spinor formalism to compute in a super-Poincare covariant manner the four-point massless one and two-loop open superstring amplitudes, and the gauge anomaly of the six-point one-loop amplitude. All of these amplitudes are expressed as integrals of ten-dimensional superfields in a "pure spinor superspace" which involves five $\theta$ coordinates covariantly contracted with three pure spinors. The bosonic contribution to these amplitudes agrees with the standard results, and we demonstrate identities which show how the $t_8$ and ${\epsilon }_{10}$ tensors naturally emerge from integrals over pure spinor superspace.
