Title: Double covering of diffeomorphisms for superstrings in generic curved space

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6912685

The embedding of the superstring in a generic curved space involves the use of world-spinors behaving according to the (infinite) unitary representations of SL-bar(10,R), the double-covering of the linear group on R/sup 10/. A supersymmetric extrension is provided by the embedding of GL-bar(10,R) in the supergroup GQ-bar(10,R) whose flat limit reproduces Poincare supersymmetry.
