Abstract

We study the multiloop amplitudes of the light-cone gauge closed bosonic string field theory for d26d \neq 26. We show that the amplitudes can be recast into a BRST invariant form by adding a nonstandard worldsheet theory for the longitudinal variables X±X^{\pm} and the reparametrization ghost system. The results obtained in this paper for bosonic strings provide a first step towards the examination whether the dimensional regularization works for the multiloop amplitudes of the light-cone gauge superstring field theory.
