Abstract

In this talk I review the off-shell superspace representations of the Jacobian factors arising in going to an orthonormal gauge in spinning and heterotic string theories.

Invited talk given at the NATO Workshop on Superstrings, University of Colorado at Boulder, July 27 — August 1, 1987.

Research supported by National Science Foundation Grant PHY 86-19077.
