Abstract
This thesis is based in part of my work during the Ph.D. and aims to present a detailed analysis of some newly studied properties of the composite non-minimal pure spinor b ghost. First, a review of the minimal and non-minimal pure spinor formalisms will be presented. Then, the construction of the non-minimal b ghost will be done step-by-step, including quantum corrections. Finally, some of its fundamental properties will be studied i detail, ranging from nilpotency until the definition of a possible canonical conjugate, the c ghost (AU)
