Orbifold-compactified models in torus-compactified string theories

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

On the basis ofU(1) currents, we found a series of string models compactified onZ 2-orbifold which are equivalent to those on tori. The correspondence of states between two models is clarified and tree amplitudes for twisted states are evaluated by use of vertex operators of the torus-compactified models. The relation betweenZ 2-twisting andZ 2-shifting is briefly discussed.
