Gepner approach to space-time supersymmetry in ten-dimensional string theory
Abstract
The fermionic Neveu-Schwartz-Ramond string has a hidden N=2 superconformal symmetry on the worldsheet. Using an isomorphism of the N=2 superconformal algebra, we show how to obtain a subspace of physical string states on which the super-Poincaré group acts. The proposed construction is an alternative to the GSO projection in string theory.
