Loop Variables and the (Free) Open String in a Curved Background
B. Sathiapalan
Using the loop variable formalism as applied to a sigma model in curved target space, we give a systematic method for writing down gauge and generally covariant equations of motion…

Loop Variables and Gauge Invariance in Closed Bosonic String Theory
B. Sathiapalan
We extend an earlier proposal for a gauge invariant description of off-shell open strings (at tree level), using loop variables, to off-shell closed strings (at tree level). The ba…

Holomorphic Factorization and Renormalization Group in Closed String Theory
B. Sathiapalan
The prescription of Kawai, Lewellen and Tye for writing the closed string tree amplitudes as sums of products of open string tree amplitudes, is applied to the world sheet renormal…
