Abstract The OPE between the composite b ghost and the unintegrated vertex operator for massless states of the pure spinor superstring is computed and shown to reproduce the structure of the bosonic string result. The double pole vanishes in the Lorenz gauge and the single pole is shown to be equal to the corresponding integrated vertex operator.

After reviewing the Green-Schwarz superstring using the approach of Siegel, the superstring is covariantly quantized by constructing a BRST operator from the fermionic constraints and a bosonic pure spinor ghost variable. Physical massless vertex operators are constructed and, for the first time, N-point tree amplitudes are computed in a manifestly ten-dimensional super-Poincaré covariant manner. Quantization can be generalized to curved supergravity backgrounds and the vertex operator for fluctuations around AdS5×S5 is explicitly constructed.

Abstract The construction of the ghost number zero and one vertex operators for the 11D pure spinor superparticle will be revisited. In this sense, an alternative way of defining the ghost number one vertex operator will be given after introducing a ghost number -2 operator made out of physical operators defined on the 11D non-minimal pure spinor superspace. This procedure will make explicit and transparent the relation between the ghost number three and one vertex operators. In addition, using a non-Lorentz covariant b-ghost, ghost number zero and two vertex operators satisfying standard descent equations will be presented in full form.

A systematic procedure for constructing vertex operators for the physical states of the closed bosonic string theory at genus g in the operator formalism is presented. The method is based on imposing suitable commutation relations with the generators of the conformal transformations required by unitarity of scattering amplitudes. An Arakelov-type metric on the Riemann surface naturally arises in the case of the tachyon, which allows to define vertex operators at higher levels via covariant derivatives. They involve covariant derivatives of the curvature with respect to this metric as it happens in the path integral approach. As a particular result, the Fradkin-Tseytlin dilaton coupling is obtained.

Using general principles in the theory of vertex operator algebras and their twisted modules, we obtain a bosonic, twisted construction of a certain central extension of a Lie algebra of differential operators on the circle, for an arbitrary twisting automorphism. The construction involves the Bernoulli polynomials in a fundamental way. We develop new identities and principles in the theory of vertex operator algebras and their twisted modules, and explain the construction by applying general results, including an identity that we call modified weak associativity, to the Heisenberg vertex operator algebra. This paper gives proofs and further explanations of results announced earlier. It is a generalization to twisted vertex operators of work announced by the second author some time ago, and includes as a special case the proof of the main results of that work.

F.V. vertex operator which allows a consistent bosonization of fermions, bosons and anyons is shown. It thus plays an essential role in the general theory of Fractional Quantum Hall Effect (F.Q.H.E.).
