Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have proposed that two-point scattering amplitudes in string theory can be calculated using an operator formalism with BRST symmetry. In this calculation method, we introduced a new concept called the mostly BRST exact operator, and showed that this operator works well not only for two-point scattering amplitudes but also for the calculation of general scattering amplitudes.

In the study of two-point amplitudes of closed strings, we clarified the relationship between closed string vertex operators and descent equations, and succeeded in extending the conventional vertex operators. Using these extended vertex operators, we showed that it is possible to calculate the one-point function of the dilaton, revealing that although it is a local operator, it yields the Euler characteristic as a global contribution.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

弦理論における2点散乱振幅は、ゲージ固定されない自由度が残るためゼロになると数十年間信じられてきた。BRST形式を用いてこの2点振幅が有限の値として得られることが明らかになったことで、このドグマが覆されたのであり、学術的意義は非常に大きいと言える。また、この研究を通じて、mostly BRST exact演算子という新しい概念が導入され、閉弦頂点演算子と降下方程式との関係が解明された。これらの新たな考え方は、開弦の場の理論における閉弦のダイナミクスの研究に役立つことが期待される成果である。
