Abstract

We study a classical superstring propagating in a “curved” (10,16)-dimensional superspace. In this formulation of the string, a local fermionic symmetry is needed to eliminate ghosts from the particle spectrum. By studying the constraint algebra, we show that any background field configuration consistent with this symmetry is equivalent to one which satisfies the full set of supergravity equations.
