Abstract
A representation of the superstring Jacobian is given for a general choice of the gauge slice e(x), ψ(x), Â(x). The expression involves an integral over the expected ghost fields (x) and λ(x) and traceless antighost fields (x) and β(x), and the action is invariant under local supersymmetry and super-Weyl transformations. Conserved currents of the ghost system are calculated directly from this action.
