Correlation Functions from Two-dimensional String Ward Identities
نویسنده
چکیده
We rederive the w∞ Ward identities, starting from the existence of trivial linearized gauge invariances, and using the method of canceled propagators in the operator formalism. Recursion relations for certain classes of correlation functions are derived, and these correlation function are calculated exactly. We clarify the relation of these results with another derivation of the Ward identities, which relies directly on charge conservation. We also emphasize the importance of the kinematics of canceled propagators in ensuring that the Ward identities are non-trivial. Finally, we sketch an extension of Ward identities to open strings.

Ward Identities in Two - Dimensional String Theory
I study the Ward identities of the w∞ symmetry of the two-dimensional string theory. It is found that, not just an isolated vertex operator, but also a number of vertex operators colliding at a point can produce local charge non-conservation. The structure of all such contact terms is determined. As an application, I calculate all the non-vanishing bulk tachyon amplitudes directly through the W...
متن کاملOne-Loop Massive Scattering Amplitudes and Ward Identities in String Theory
We calculate bosonic open string one-loop massive scattering amplitudes for some lowlying string states. By using the periodicity relations of Jacobi theta functions, we explicitly prove an infinite number of one-loop type I stringy Ward identities derived from type I zeronorm states in the old covariant first quantized (OCFQ) spectrum of open bosonic string. The subtlety in the proofs of one-l...

متن کاملSingularity Cancellation in Fermion Loops through Ward Identities
Recently Neumayr and Metzner [1] have shown that the connected N -point density-correlation functions of the two-dimensional and the one-dimensional Fermi gas at one-loop order generically (i.e. for nonexceptional energy-momentum configurations) vanish/are regular in the small momentum/small energy-momentum limits. Their result is based on an explicit analysis in the sequel of the results of Fe...
متن کاملSolving Topological 2D Quantum Gravity Using Ward Identities
A topological procedure for computing correlation functions for any (1, q) model is presented. Our procedure can be used to compute any correlation function on the sphere as well as some correlation functions at higher genus. We derive new and simpler recursion relations that extend previously known results based on W constraints. In addition, we compute an effective contact algebra with multip...
