Abstract
The following lectures deal with 2-dimensional superspaces. The constraints are derived and solved, the superconformal gauge and Weyl invariance are discussed and the Virasoro constraints are obtained.
Teyler’s lectures at Leyden University, June, 1986.
On leave from the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, N.Y. 11794, USA.
