Moving NS Punctures on Super Spheres
Dimitri P. Skliros
One of the subtleties that has made superstring perturbation theory intricate at high string loop order is the fact that as shown by Donagi and Witten, supermoduli space is not hol…
Handle Operators in String Theory
Dimitri Skliros, Dieter Luest
We derive how to incorporate topological features of Riemann surfaces in string amplitudes by insertions of bi-local operators called handle operators. The resulting formalism is e…
Two-Point String Amplitudes
Harold Erbin, Juan Maldacena, Dimitri Skliros
We show that the two-point tree level amplitude in string theory in flat space is given by the standard free particle expression.
Highly Excited Strings I: Generating Function
Dimitri P. Skliros, Edmund J. Copeland, Paul M. Saffin
This is the first of a series of detailed papers on string amplitudes with highly excited strings (HES). In the present paper we construct a generating function for string amplitud…
Complete Normal Ordering 1: Foundations
John Ellis, Nick E. Mavromatos, Dimitri P. Skliros
We introduce a new prescription for quantising scalar field theories perturbatively around a true minimum of the full quantum effective action, which is to `complete normal order'…
Tadpoles, Cephalopods, and `Complete Normal Ordering'
Dimitri P. Skliros
We describe how to cancel (when this is desirable) all tadpole and more generally all cephalopod Feynman diagrams in generic interacting scalar field theories to all orders in pert…
