EVENT-SYMMETRY FOR SUPERSTRINGS

I apply the principle of event-symmetry to simple string models and di scuss how these lead to the conviction that multiple quantization is l inked to dimension. It may be that string theory has to be formulated in the absence of space-time, which will then emerge as a derived prop erty of the dynamics. Another interpretation of the event-symmetric ap proach which embodies this is that instantons are fundamental. Just as solitons may be dual to fundamental particles, instantons may be dual to space-time events. Event-symmetry is then dual to instanton statis tics. In that case a unification between particle statistics and gauge symmetry follows on naturally from the principle of event-symmetry. I build algebras which represent symmetries of superstring theories ext ending event-symmetry, but which are also isomorphic to an algebra of creation and annihilation operators for strings of fermionic partons.
