A note on conserved worldsheet supercharges in heterotic pure spinor superstring

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: A bstract We study conserved worldsheet charges associated with spacetime supersymmetry in heterotic pure-spinor superstrings on curved ten-dimensional superspace backgrounds. Requiring BRST invariance and worldsheet conservation gives a covariant set of superspace constraints. In flat superspace these conditions reproduce the standard ten-dimensional supersymmetry generator. In curved superspace, they organize the requirements for global supersymmetry in terms of a normalizable spinor superfield.
