Field theory expansions of string theory amplitudes
arxiv(2024)
摘要
It is commonly believed that string theory amplitudes cannot be expanded in
terms of poles of all channels, thereby distinguishing them from the usual
Feynman diagram expansion in quantum field theory. We present here new
representations of the Euler-Beta function and string theory amplitudes which
are analytic everywhere except at the poles but sum over poles in all channels,
and, crucially, include contact diagrams, very much in the spirit of quantum
field theory. This enables us to consider mass-level truncation, which
preserves all the features of the original amplitude. By starting with such
expansions for generalized Euler-Beta functions and demanding QFT like
features, we single out the open string amplitude. Our considerations also lead
to new field theory inspired representations of the Zeta function, which have
very fast convergence. We demonstrate the difficulty in deforming away from the
string amplitude and show that a class of such deformations can be potentially
interesting when there is level truncation.
