Abstract

It is shown that the type IIA, IIB and heterotic superstring actions can be interpreted as the (8_c, 8_s), (8_c, 8_c) and (8_c, 0) superconformally invariant two-dimensional singleton field theories of the three-dimensional anti-de Sitter supergroups OSp( 8 2, R)_c⊗OSp( 8 2, R)_s, OSp( 8 2, R)_c and OSp( 8 2, R)_c⊗Sp(2, R), respectively.
