The resulting ten-dimensional theory is N = 1 supersymmetric, Lorentz invariant, and free of tachyons. An alternate formulation where sixteen of the bosonic coordinates are replaced by fermionic coordinates is presented and used to construct a manifestly Lorentz covariant and reparametrization invariant action for the theory. The theory is consistent only for gauge group Spin(32)/Z2 or E8 × E8. Supported in part by NSF grant PHY-80-19754, and DOE contract DE-AC02-76ER03072.
