Abstract

We construct the open and closed string NSR-models in terms ofD≧15 bosonic string theories. All anticommuting NSR-operators are obtained after fermionizing 4 bosonic dimensions, and the NSR-Hilbert spaces are embedded as linear subspaces of the bosonic Hilbert spaces. We thus show the existence of various 10D supersymmetric sectors of the state spaces ofD=26 consistent bosonic strings.
