Abstract
The superstring is quantized in a manner which manifestly preserves a U(5) subgroup of the (Wick-rotated) ten-dimensional super-Poincare invariance. T his description of the superstring contains critical N = 2 worldsheet super conformal invariance and is a natural covariantization of the U(4)-invarian t light-cone Green-Schwarz description.
