Title: COSET CONSTRUCTION OF SUPERSTRINGS VIA THE COADJOINT ORBIT METHOD
Abstract: The previously proposed general construction of geometric actions on infinite-dimensional group coadjoint orbits in terms of fundamental group one-cocycles is applied to provide an alternative formulation of the Green-Schwarz superstring. It is shown that the latter model can be consistently constructed as geometric action on a certain infinite-dimensional coset space of the semi-direct product of left- and right-handed Virasoro groups with a Kac-Moody group based on an appropriate modification of the super-Heisenberg-Weyl group.
