String universality in ten dimensions (1006.1352v2)
Published 7 Jun 2010 in hep-th and gr-qc
Abstract: We show that the ${\cal N}=1$ supergravity theories in ten dimensions with gauge groups $U(1){496}$ and $E_8 \times U(1){248}$ are not consistent quantum theories. Cancellation of anomalies cannot be made compatible with supersymmetry and abelian gauge invariance. Thus, in ten dimensions all supersymmetric theories of gravity without known inconsistencies are realized in string theory.
