Summing Over World-Sheet Boundaries

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-09 v1

Abstract

The moduli associated with boundaries in a Riemann surface are parametrized by the positions and strengths of electric charges. This suggests a method for summing over orientable Riemann surfaces with Dirichlet boundary conditions on the embedding coordinates. A light-cone parameterization of such boundaries is also discussed.
