The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

We propose possible new string theories based on local world-sheet symmetries corresponding to extensions of the Virasoro algebra by fractional spin currents. They have critical central charges $c=6(K+8)/(K+2)$ and Minkowski space-time dimensions $D=2+16/K$ for $K\geq2$ an integer. We present evidence for their existence by constructing modular invariant partition functions and the massless particle spectra. The dimension $4$ and $6$ strings have space-time supersymmetry.

Original abstract

We propose possible new string theories based on local world-sheet symmetries corresponding to extensions of the Virasoro algebra by fractional spin currents. They have critical central charges $c=6(K+8)/(K+2)$ and Minkowski space-time dimensions $D=2+16/K$ for $K\geq2$ an integer. We present evidence for their existence by constructing modular invariant partition functions and the massless particle spectra. The dimension $4$ and $6$ strings have space-time supersymmetry.
