Abstract: (IOP)
The equations of motion for the Green-Schwarz superstring are solved in the ON-gauge (in principle, also outside the ON-gauge), the object being to obtain a precise understanding of the fermionic gauge symmetry. In three and four dimensions, the solution is the most general one. This treatment is not satisfactory in six or ten dimensions, but the author conjectures that the gauge symmetry 'is'-in a well defined sense-a quaternion in D=6, and an octonion in D=10.- MODEL: STRING
