Torus Compactification of the Bosonic String and their Superstring Context
Chapter
Abstract
The string theory approach to the unification of gravity and master is the outcome of the relativistic string introduced by Nambu1, Nielsen2 and Susskind3 to interpret the Veneziano dual model4. Indeed, as explained below, the bosonic string theory requires for consistency a massless spin 2 excitation in the closed string sector. Thus the theory acquires in Hilbert space invariance under general coordinate transformations and reduces, in the low energy limit, to general relativity coupled to matter.
