Relations Between Closed String Amplitudes at Higher-order Tree Level and Open String Amplitudes

Chen, Yi-Xin, Du, Yi-Jian, Ma, Qian

Understand

KLT relations almost factorize closed string amplitudes on $S_2$ by two open string tree amplitudes which correspond to the left- and the right- moving sectors.

  • In this paper, we investigate string amplitudes on $D_2$ and $RP_2$.
  • We find that KLT factorization relations do not hold in these two cases.
  • The relations between closed and open string amplitudes have new forms.
