We suggest supersymmetric extension of conformally invariant string theory which is exclusively based on extrinsic curvature action. At the classical level this is a tension-less string theory. The absence of conformal anomaly in quantum…

As a contribution to the ongoing discussion of trajectories of spinless particles in spaces with torsion we show that the geometry of such spaces can be induced by embedding their curves in a euclidean space without torsion. Technically…

For interacting classical field theories such as general relativity exact solutions typically can only be found by imposing physically motivated (Killing) {\it symmetry} assumptions. Such highly symmetric solutions are then often used as…

Whether torsion plays or not a role in the description of the gravitational interaction is a problem that can only be solved by experiment. This is, however, a difficult task: since there are different possible interpretations for torsion,…

A class of non-supersymmetric string backgrounds can be constructed using twists that involve space-time fermion parity. We propose a non-perturbative definition of string theory in these backgrounds via gauge theories with supersymmetry…

$N=2$ string theories are formulated in space-times with 2 space and 2 time dimensions. If the world-sheet matter system consists of 2 chiral superfields, the space-time is Kahler and the dynamics are those of anti-self-dual gravity. If…
