Abstract

The conventional on-shell techniques of computing string theory amplitudes is not sufficient to compute mass renormalization of massive states and vacuum shift in string theory. The aim of this talk is to define a suitable off-shell continuation of Polyakov approach. Then this off-shell continuation will be used to compute mass-renormalization and perturbative vacuum shift in string theory.
