On the NSR formulation of String Theory on AdS_5 X S^5
  We discuss the NSR formulation of the superstring action on AdS_5 X S^5 proposed recently by Kallosh and Tseytlin in the Green-Schwarz formalism.We show that the stress-energy tensor corresponding to the NSR action for AdS superstring contains the branelike terms, corresponding to exotic massless vertex operators (refered to as the branelike vertices). The corresponding sigma-model action has the manifest SO(1,3) X SO(6) invariance of superstring theory on AdS_5 X S^5. We argue that adding the branelike terms is equivalent to curving the space-time to obtain the AdS_5 X S^5 background. We commence the study of the proposed NSR sigma-model by analyzing the scattering amplitudes involving the branelike vertex operators.The analysis shows quite an unusual momentum dependence of these scattering amplitudes.
