Abstract
We present the covariant BRST quantization of the super-D-string. The non-vanishing supersymmetric U(1) field strength is essential for the covariant quantization of the super-D-string as well as for its static picture. A SO(2) parameter parametrizes a family of local supersymmetric (kappa symmetric) systems including the super-D-string with and the Green-Schwarz superstring with . We suggest that (canonical conjugate of U(1) gauge field) plays a role of the order parameter in the Green-Schwarz formalism: the super-D-string exists for while the fundamental Green-Schwarz superstring exists only for .
