Abstract

We present F-theories that reduce to 10D Type II Green-Schwarz superstrings. They vary in manifest U-duality according to division between spacetime and "internal" coordinates. They are defined by selfdual current superalgebras in higher worldvolume dimensions with manifest \mathrm G× \mathrm G' symmetry where the spacetime symmetry \mathrm G=\mathrm E_n(n) ranges over the (split form of the) exceptional groups with ranks n=\mathrm D+1 ≤ 7 and the internal symmetry \mathrm G'= GL(10-D).
