Abstract: (Elsevier)

It is shown that the type IIA, IIB and heterotic superstring actions can be interpreted as the (8 c , 8 s ), (8 c , 8 c ) and (8 c , 0) superconformally invariant two-dimensional singleton field theories of the three-dimensional anti-de Sitter supergroups OSp( 8 2 , R) c ⊗OSp( 8 2 , R) s , OSp( 8 2 , R) c and OSp( 8 2 , R) c ⊗Sp(2, R), respectively.

MODEL: STRING
SUPERSYMMETRY
FIELD THEORY: ACTION
FIELD THEORY: TWO-DIMENSIONAL
