A Locally Supersymmetric Action for the Bosonic String
Abstract
Recently Berkovits and Vafa have shown that the bosonic string can be viewed as the fermionic string propagating in a particular background. Such a background is described by a somewhat unusual N=1 superconformal system. By coupling it to N=1 supergravity I construct a local supersymmetric action for the bosonic string.
