Modular invariance in closed superstrings

  • 1. North Carolina Univ., Chapel Hill (USA). Dept. of Physics and Astronomy

Description

Previous explicit results for open superstrings are employed to prove modular invariance and hence finiteness of the pentagon diagram (probably extensible to higher-point one-loop diagrams) in several closed superstring theories: type II, the heterotic string, and the generalizations of the heterotic string due to Narain. (orig.)
