Description

Type II superstrings are compactified to four dimensions giving rise to a dimension-18 semi-simple Lie group. Two of these groups, SU(3) x SO(5) and SU(2) x SU(4) contain the standard gauge group. The four-dimensional string satisfies perturbative unitarity and is finite at least to one loop. (orig.)
