Strings in Ramond-Ramond backgrounds from the Neveu-Schwarz-Ramond formalism

We treat RR flux backgrounds of type II string theory in the framework of closed superstring field theory based on the NSR formalism, focusing on two examples: (1) the pp-wave background supported by 5-form flux, and (2) AdS3 × S3 × M4 supported by mixed 3-form fluxes. In both cases, we analyze the...
