Abstract: (Elsevier)
We discuss ooff-shell states guided by an analogue model approach. This leads us to a more complete understanding of a model proposed recently by Schwarz with critical dimension 16. We are led, by algebraic considerations, to off-shell states in the Neveu- Schwarz-Ramond model, which obey the gauge conditions in the same critical dimension as the on-shell theory, the amplitudes factorizing on the usual positive definite states in 10 dimensions. Brief calculations reveal that some of the divergences present in the orbital model disappear in the fermion theory.
