Green-Schwarz superstring in extended configuration space and the infinitely reducible first class constraints problem.

Abstract

The Green--Schwarz superstring action is modified to include some set of additional (on-shell trivial) variables. A complete constraints system of the theory turns out to be reducible both in the original and in additional variable sectors. The initial $8s$ first class constraints and $8c$ second class ones are shown to be unified with $8c$ first and $8s$ second class constraints from the additional variables sector, resulting with $SO(1,9)$-covariant and linearly independent constraint sets. Residual reducibility proves to fall on second class constraints only.
