Description

We consider the supersymmetric extension of the Krichever-Novikov algebra on the supertorus. We use the construction of superelliptic functions which serve as the bases of the generators of superconformal transformation. We use the fact that the superconformal algebra contains terms proportional to the odd modular parameter and with the introduction of ghosts we show that the superconformal anomaly for strings on the supertorus cancels exactly for the space-time dimensionality ten.
