A Sojourn Through String Theory
Sam Christian, Yuchen Wang, Xi Yin +1
We revisit the -matrix, the thermal -matrix and the thermal free energy of string theory from the worldsheet perspective. By numerically integrating Virasoro conformal…

Bosonic String Amplitudes From Ribbon Graphs
Sam Christian, Ben Mazel, Yuchen Wang +2
We develop a method for numerically computing higher genus CFT correlators and string amplitudes based on Kontsevich's ribbon graph parametrization of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}…
