String universality in ten dimensions

We show that the N=1 supergravity theories in ten dimensions with gauge groups U(1)[superscript 496] and E₈×U(1)[superscript 248] are not consistent quantum theories. Cancellation of anomalies cannot be made compatible with supersymmetry and Abelian gauge invariance. Thus, in ten dimensions all supe...
