Hyperbolic Geometry and Closed Bosonic String Field Theory II: The Rules for Evaluating the Quantum BV Master Action

Understand

The quantum Batalian-Vilkovisky master action for closed string field theory consists of kinetic term and infinite number of interaction terms.

• The interaction strengths (coupling constants) are given by integrating the off-shell string measure over the distinct string diagrams describing the elementary interactions of the closed strings.
• In the first paper of this series, it was shown that the string diagrams describing the elementary interactions can be characterized using the Riemann surfaces endowed with the hyperbolic metric with constant curvature $-1$.
• In this paper, we construct the off-shell bosonic-string measure as a function of the Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates of the Teichm\"uller space of hyperbolic Riemann surfaces.
