Description

We clarify the quantization of the zero modes of twisted strings on orbifolds and thereby show how the untwisted state emission-vertex operators in the twisted sector are equipped with cocycle factors, describing the jumo of the center-of-mass coordinate according to the winding numbers of the emitted state. Then, we apply the formalism to a Z2-orbifold in detail and determine what representation the fixed points belong to. (orig.)
