Attempt to superstring theory with arbitrary dimension

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

The path integral approach of the fermionic string withN=1, 2, 4, 8 local supersymmetry is considered. By introduction of ghost number current in the path integral, we make an attempt to shift their critical dimensions arbitrarily.
