Abstract: (APS)
We consider the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin quantization of the N=2 supersymmetric Siegel Lagrangean which is obtained by truncation of the N=2 spinning string. We show that this Lagrangean describes four chiral bosons and that it can be consistently coupled to N=(1, 0) supergravity. Using this system we propose a Lagrangean for the heterotic string in the bosonic formulation.
