This paper reports on a stringy version of the Altarelli-Parisi equation given within the field theory of bosonic strings formulated in the light-cone gauge. Using this equation, the authors study the behavior of the decay function of strings under the change of reference scale, especially imposing an assumption of large transverse momentum. In some cases the n-th moment of the decay function behaves very differently from QCD.
