“…There are now a number of such models which can be covariantly quantized and which give the super Yang-Mills spectrum. These models fall into two classes, those in which the classical superspace has an infinite number of coordinates [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] and those in which it has a finite number [17,22,24]. This paper will be restricted to formulations with a finite number of classical superspace coordinates.…”

This paper is concerned with theories describing spinning particles that are formulated in terms of actions possessing either local world-line supersymmetry or local fermionic kappa invariance. These classical actions are obtained by adding a finite number of spinor or vector coordinates to the usual space-time coordinates.Generalizing to superspace leads to corresponding types of 'spinning superparticle' theories in which the wave-functions are superfields in some (generally reducible) representation of the Lorentz group. A class of these spinning superparticle actions possesses the same spectrum as ten-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, which it is shown can be formulated in terms of either vector or spinor superfields satisfying supercovariant constraints. The models under consideration include some that were known previously and some new ones.

We present a new development in our approach to the covariant quantization of superstrings in 10 dimensions which is based on a gauged WZNW model. To incorporate worldsheet diffeomorphisms we need the quartet of ghosts (b zz , c z , β zz , γ z ) for topological gravity. The currents of this combined system form an N = 2 superconformal algebra.The model has vanishing central charge and contains two anticommuting BRST charges,
