Notes on the ambitwistor pure spinor string

Understand

In this work, some aspects of the ambitwistor pure spinor string are investigated.

• The $b$ ghost is presented and its main properties are derived in a simple way, very similar to the usual pure spinor $b$ ghost construction.
• The heterotic case is also addressed with a new proposal for the BRST charge.
• The BRST cohomology is shown to correctly describe the heterotic supergravity spectrum and a semi-composite $b$ ghost is constructed.
