We perform a Hamiltonian analysis of the classical type IIB superstring onAdS(5) x S(5) in the pure spinor approach. Taking the spatial components of theleft-invariant (super)currents and the pure spinor ghosts as canonicalvariables, we compute the classical graded Poisson brackets of the currents andghosts and identify the first class constraints associated to the local SO(4,1)x SO(5) symmetry and the pure spinor condition. We then study the properties ofthe BRST generators and the Hamiltonian along the constraints. For a naturalchoice of the the Lagrange multipliers, we show equivalence of the canonicalequations of motion with the covariant ones. Finally we briefly discuss the(non) local currents, including the ghost contribution, that generate theglobal PSU(2,2|4) symmetry and its Yangian extension in the present framework.Comment: 26 pages, v2:corrected typo
