We develop an exact functional method applied to the bosonic string on a shperical world sheet, in graviton and dilaton backgrounds, consistent with conformal invariance. In this method, quantum fluctuations are controled by the amplitude…

In this paper we considered the bosonic string action in the presence of metric $G_{\mu\nu}$, Kalb-Ramond field $B_{\mu\nu}$ and dilaton field $\Phi$. The quantum conformal invariance is achieved if all three one-loop $\beta$-functions are…
