Description

Open string models are classified using modular invariance. No good candidates for new models are found, though the existence of an E8 invariant model Rsup(17,1), a similar one in Rsup(5,1) and of a supersymmetric model in Rsup(2,1) cannot be excluded by this technique. An intriguing relation between the left moving and right moving sectors of the heterotic string emerges. (orig.)
