Description

We study to what extent it is possible to generalise Berkovits' pure-spinor construction in d = 10 to lower dimensions. Using a suitable definition of a 'pure' spinor in d = 4,6, we propose models analogous to the d = 10 pure-spinor superstring in these dimensions. Similar models in d = 2,3 are also briefly discussed
