Loop Variables and Gauge Invariant Interactions of Massive Modes in String Theory
B. Sathiapalan
The loop variable approach used earlier to obtain free equations of motion for the massive modes of the open string, is generalized to include interaction terms. These terms, which…
On Covariant Derivatives and Gauge Invariance in the Proper Time Formalism for String Theory
B. Sathiapalan
It is shown that the idea of ``minimal'' coupling to gauge fields can be conveniently implemented in the proper time formalism by identifying the equivalent of a ``covariant deriva…
The Proper Time Equation and the Zamolodchikov Metric
B. Sathiapalan
The connection between the proper time equation and the Zamolodchikov metric is discussed. The connection is two-fold: First, as already known, the proper time equation is the prod…
On Factorizing Correlation Functions in String Theory Using Loop Variables
B. Sathiapalan
Factorization of string amplitudes is one way of constructing string interaction vertices. We show that correlation functions in string theory can be conveniently factorized using…
A Comparison of the Proper Time Equation and the Renormalization Group -Function in String Theory
B. Sathiapalan
It is known that there is a proportionality factor relating the -function and the equations of motion viz. the Zamolodchikov metric. Usually this factor has to be obtained by ot…
