Partition function of a bosonic string compactified on an orbifold

Journal Article · · Sov. J. Nucl. Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:5291506
The partition function of the bosonic string compactified on a singular orbifold is derived. All the information about the orbifold structure is contained in the combination of theta functions specific to it, in terms of which the partition function is expressed.
