Discussion and conclusion; Appendix A; Bibliography; Samenvatting; AcknowledgmentsThis thesis presents recent developments within the pure spinor formalism, which has simplified amplitude computations in perturbative string theory, especially when spacetime fermions are involved. Firstly the worldsheet action of both the minimal and the non-minimal pure spinor formalism is derived from first principles, i.e. from an action with two dimensional diffeomorphism and Weyl invariance. Secondly the decoupling of unphysical states in the minimal pure spinor formalism is proved.UvA-proefschriftenSpinor analysisElectronic books.Spinor analysis.531/.14Hoogeveen Joost930917MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459341903321Fundamentals of the pure spinor formalism2094100UNINA
