\textit{I. M. Krichever} and \textit{S. P. Novikov} [Funct. Anal. Appl. 21, No. 4, 294-307 (1987); translation from Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 21, No. 4, 47- 61 (1987; Zbl 0659.17012), Funct. Anal. Appl. 21, 126-142 (1987); translation from Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 21, No. 2, 46-63 (1987; Zbl 0634.17010)] introduced a natural extension of the Virasoro algebra on a higher genus compact Riemann surface. The authors use this approach to study the evolution of the Neveu-Schwarz-Ramond type II closed superstring on a curved space-time manifold. The generators of the superconformal algebra are explicitly constructed at the quantum level for arbitrary genus and it is shown that the algebra is free from anomalies, if the target manifold is ten-dimensional and Ricci-flat.
