A large-D Weyl invariant string model in Anti-de Sitter space
In this thesis we present a novel scheme for calculating the bosonic string partition function on certain curved backgrounds related to Anti-de Sitter [AdS] space. We take the concept of a large expansion from nonlinear sigma models in particle physics and apply it to the bosonic string theory sigma...
