Veneziano amplitude in any dimension and a Virasoro-Shapiro partial amplitude

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper demonstrates how the Veneziano partial amplitude of Bosonic string theory admits a generalization to world-(hyper)surfaces of any dimension d . In particular, for d = 2 , by carving up the worldsheet integral according to stipulations imposed on conformal cross ratios, the Virasoro-Shapiro full amplitude can be decomposed into a sum of three partial amplitudes. The amplitudes obtained on generalizing the Veneziano amplitude all contain tachyons. To explore candidate tachyon-free and supersymmetric versions of these amplitudes, a new bootstrap principle is introduced and applied, which demands that towers of residues alternate between all-even and all-odd spin partial waves.
