Virasoro conditions, vertex operators, and string dynamics in curved space

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
; ;

We present the perturbatively renormalized expression of a scalar vertex operator for strings in a background metric and dilaton field. The equations of motion for the background fields and the wave equation for the vertex function emerge upon imposing Virasoro conditions on the vertex operator.
