We consider the propagation of the closed bosonic string in the weakly curved background. We show that the closed string non-commutativity is essentially connected to the T-duality and nontrivial background. From the T-duality transformation laws, connecting the canonical variables of the original and T-dual theory, we find the structure of the Poisson brackets in the T-dual space corresponding to the fundamental Poisson brackets in the original theory. We find that the commutative original theory is equivalent to the non-commutative T-dual theory, in which Poisson brackets close on winding and momenta numbers and the coefficients are proportional to the background fluxes.

The evolution of a closed NSR string is considered in the background of constant graviton and antisymmetric fields. The σ-model action is written in a manifestly supersymmetric form in terms of superfields. The first order formalism adopted for the closed bosonic string is generalized to implement duality transformations and the constant dual backgrounds are obtained for the dual theory. We recover the G→G−1 duality for the case when antisymmetric tensor field is set to zero. Next, the case when the backgrounds depend on one superfield, is also analyzed. This scenario is similar to the cosmological case envisaged for the bosonic string. The explicit form of the duality transformation is given for this case.

Using the duality transformation between open string loops and closed string exchanges, the known compactifications of the closed bosonic string on tori described by even self-dual lattices are coupled to similarly compactified open strings.

We present a modular invariant formulation of the open string in terms of the closed string. Chan–Paton factors are understood as multiplicities which arise from a factorization of the closed string. This interpretation of the Chan–Paton factors suggests that the SO (2D/2) open string is consistent to all orders of the loop expansion. We show that the open string may be viewed as a Z2-orbifold of the closed string. Relations are found between various string theories which seem to reinforce an earlier suggestion by Freund that all string theories are derivable from the D = 26 orientable closed bosonic string.

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 basic idea is to describe the closed string amplitudes as a product of two open string amplitudes (using the technique of Kawai, Lewellen and Tye). The loop variable techniques that were used earlier for open strings can be applied here mutatis mutandis. It is a proposal for a theory whose on-shell amplitudes coincide with those of the closed bosonic string in 26 dimensions. It is also gauge-invariant off-shell. As was the case with the open string, the interacting closed string looks like a free closed string thickened to a band.

Abstract We investigate how T-duality and solving the boundary conditions of the open bosonic string are related. We start by considering the T-dualization of the open string moving in the constant background. We take that the coordinates of the initial theory satisfy either Neumann or Dirichlet boundary conditions. It follows that the coordinates of T-dual theory satisfy exactly the opposite set of boundary conditions. We treat the boundary conditions of both theories as constraints, and apply the Dirac procedure to them, which results in forming $$\sigma $$σ-dependent constraints. We solve these constraints and obtain the effective theories for the solution. We show that the effective closed string theories are also T-dual.

The equations of motion for the massless modes of the closed bosonic string are obtained in the adiabatic approximation from the requirement of the vanishing of the curvature of appropriate vector bundles over the space of complex structures Diff S1/S1. This vanishing is required for physical states to be independent of string parametrization.

Following the ideas of Ref. 3, to account for instability of 2-D black hole solution, we discuss possible imaginary string-loop corrections to the coefficient at the Einstein term in string effective action (EA). In closed bosonic string theory, such corrections appear because of the tachyon contribution to the integration measure over the moduli. In superstring theory, several possible sources of complex one-string-loop contributions to the EA are considered. It is argued that none of them can account for complex corrections to the Einstein term in the effective action.
