Spinning String Theory from a Modern Perspective
Abstract
The spinning string theory can be regarded as a locally supersymmetric theory in a superspace with ten Bose and sixteen Fermi dimensions. By making six of the Bose dimensions compact in a space of suitable topology, a four-dimensional theory with N=4 extended supersymmetry is obtained. The possibility that such a scheme could provide a unified description of all interactions is discussed.
