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. 410 0$aUvA-proefschriften 606 $aSpinor analysis 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSpinor analysis. 676 $a531/.14 700 $aHoogeveen$b Joost$0930917 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459341903321 996 $aFundamentals of the pure spinor formalism$92094100 997 $aUNINA
