Abstract
We outline the construction of type II superstring field theory leading to a geometric and algebraic BV master equation, analogous to Zwiebach's construction for the bosonic string. The construction uses the small Hilbert space.
Elementary vertices of the non-polynomial action are described with the help of a properly formulated minimal area problem. They give rise to an in finite tower of superstring field products de fining a N = 1 generalization of a loop homotopy Lie algebra, the genus zero part generalizing a homotopy Lie algebra.
Finally, we give an operadic interpretation of the construction.
