Description
It is shown that in space-times of dimension 3, 4, 6, and 10 there exists a parametrization of the string coordinates which automatically solves the nonlinear constraints of the theory and which permits the implementation of the Lorentz transformations of the string in terms of a linear action upon these parameters. Supersymmetry transformations are also discussed. The prospect of quantizing the string in terms of a set of commutators for these parameters invariant under this action is examined
