These inequivalent geometries are parametrized by a finite-dimensional superspace of moduli. This space is described and an integration measure on it is proposed which comes from gauge-fixing the heterotic string. The measure thus obtained is free of conformal and Lorentz anomalies and so can be used to compute invariant string amplitudes.Physical Sciences and MathematicsPhysicsArticle
