Description
This is a review of the new manifestly spacetime-supersymmetric description of the superstring. The new description contains N=2 world sheet supersymmetry, and is related by a field redefinition to the standard RNS description. It is especially convenient for four-dimensional compactifications since S O (3,1) super-Poincare invariance can be made manifest. Parts of this work have been done in collaboration with Warren Siegel and Cumrun Vafa. (author)
