Abstract: We study some special features of , the holomorphic superconformal field theory (SCFT) given by 24 chiral free fermions. We construct eight different Lie superalgebras of "physical" states of a chiral superstring compactified on , and we prove that they all have the structure of Borcherds-Kac-Moody superalgebras. This produces a family of new examples of such superalgebras. The models depend on the choice of an supercurrent on , with the admissible choices labeled by the semisimple Lie algebras of dimension 24. We also discuss how , with any such choice of supercurrent, can be obtained via orbifolding from another distinguished holomorphic SCFT, the supersymmetric version of the chiral CFT based on the lattice.
