World-sheet supersymmetry

For the classical nonlinear sigma model on a general target manifold M, the progressive imposition of world-sheet supersymmetry (with torsion) from (1,0) to (2,2) is systematically analyzed and generalized; at each step, implications both for M and for the background gauge connection are stated.

Zusammenfassung:For the classical nonlinear sigma model on a general target manifold M, the progressive imposition of world-sheet supersymmetry (with torsion) from (1,0) to (2,2) is systematically analyzed and generalized; at each step, implications both for M and for the background gauge connection are stated. Quantum conformal invariance is then imposed. Our analysis applies to superstrings without known space-time supersymmetry.
