Abstract

We study the superconformal algebra of the Neveu-Schwarz-Ramond superstring in the back-ground of graviton and antisymmetric tensor fields. The classical Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin charge is obtained and the gravitational Ward identities are presented using the invariance properties of the $S$ -matrix generating functional.
