Abstract: (Elsevier)
The finite type I superstring theories of Green and Schwarz (SO(32) and (?)E 8 × E 8 ) in ten dimensions are viewed as special dimensional reductions on 16-tori from the non-supersymmetric Veneziano-Nambu-Goto strings in 26 dimensions. Fermions appear as solitons of the two-dimensional string field theory. Various problems of such an approach are pointed out and possible solutions outlined.- FIELD THEORY: HIGHER-DIMENSIONAL
- MODEL: STRING
- SUPERSYMMETRY
- FIELD THEORY: TEN-DIMENSIONAL
- FIELD THEORY: TWO-DIMENSIONAL
- FIELD THEORY: DIMENSIONAL REDUCTION
- FERMION: SOLITON
- SYMMETRY: SO(32)
- SYMMETRY: E(8) X E(8)
- FIELD THEORETICAL MODEL: SIGMA
