We write the IIB Green-Schwarz action in certain general classes of curvedbackgrounds threaded with Ramond-Ramond fluxes. The fixing of the kappasymmetry in the light-cone gauge and the use of supergravity Bianchi identitiessimplify the task. We find an expression that truncates to quartic order in thespacetime spinors and relays interesting information about the vacuum structureof the worldsheet theory. The results are particularly useful in exploringintegrable string dynamics in the context of the holographic duality.Comment: 24 pages; this is a significant revision to hep-th/0112063 with new results added, and including comparison with recent literature; v2: minor typos corrected, citations adde
