Abstract

We present F-theories that reduce to 10D Type II Green-Schwarz superstrings. They vary in manifest U-duality according to division between spacetime and "internal" coordinates. They are defined by selfdual current superalgebras in higher worldvolume dimensions with manifest G×G\mathrm G\times \mathrm G' symmetry where the spacetime symmetry G=En(n)\mathrm G=\mathrm E_{n(n)} ranges over the (split form of the) exceptional groups with ranks n=D+17n=\mathrm D+1 \leq 7 and the internal symmetry G=GL(10D)\mathrm {G'= GL(10-D)}.
