Abstract

We give a detailed discussion of the construction of the Batalin-Vilkovisky BRST charge for the heterotic superstring. In particular, we completely solve the higher-ghost sector using a recursion relation. The gauge choice ▽₊θ = 0, which we previously proposed for the superparticle, leads to a free quantum action.
