Description

P-loop statistical sums for the superstring and for the heterotic string may be represented as integrals over the space of moduli of Riemann surfaces. There is a similar relation between the moduli and the statistical sum, arising from the continual integral, based on the supersymmetrized action of the bosonic string. This relation between the sum of the analytical functions and the sum of their square moduli may provide an argument against compactification on six-dimensional tori. (orig./HSI)
