Abstract
We propose possible new string theories based on local world-sheet symmetries corresponding to extensions of the Virasoro algebra by fractional spin currents. They have critical central charges and Minkowski space-time dimensions for an integer. We present evidence for their existence by constructing modular invariant partition functions and the massless particle spectra. The dimension and strings have space-time supersymmetry.
