Description

In this talk I will first review the basic ingredients which allow one to formulate 10D super-Yang-Mills on pure spinor superspace. The respective pure spinor master action in the gauge b₀V=QΞ, will then be used to show that tree-level scattering amplitudes calculated via perturbiner methods, match those obtained from pure spinor CFT techniques. I will also discuss how to compute pure spinor kinematic numerators through the use of standard Feynman rules, and show that these are described by compact expressions involving the b-ghost operator. Remarkably, color-kinematics duality will be shown to immediately emerge after imposing the Siegel gauge condition b₀V = 0.
