Abstract
Based on the Wess-Zumino-Witten-like formulation, a gauge invariant action for heterotic string field theory is constructed at the sixth and eighth order of the Ramond field Ψ. A key relation is a kind of extension of the L∞ algebra including another type of string products called the gauge products. Some general structure of a complete action is also discussed.

This formulation was cleverly extended to the NS sector of the heterotic string field theory
We have recently overcome this difficulty and succeeded to construct a complete gauge invariant action based on the WZW-like formulation (WZW-like action) for the open superstring field theory in [6]
In the previous paper we first considered an extension to the heterotic string field theory
Summary
A gauge invariant action for the Neveu-Schwarz (NS) sector, representing space-time bosons, of the open superstring field theory was constructed based on an ingenious formulation utilizing the large Hilbert space, which is called Wess-Zumino-Witten-like (WZW-like) formulation [1]. This formulation was cleverly extended to the NS sector of the heterotic string field theory [2] and the NS-NS sector of the type II superstring field theory [3].1. In this note we push this attempt further and construct a gauge invariant action at the sixth and eighth order of Ψ
