Abstract

Rules are provided for the calculation of string amplitudes on all exotic topologies to one loop. These topologies include the real projective plane, the disk, the annulus, the Möbius strip, the torus and the Klein bottle. The rules are valid for bosonic strings, superstrings, and heterotic strings either in their critical dimensions or toroidally compactified, and they are applicable to amplitudes with arbitrary external bosonic and fermionic states, including mixed open- and closed-string transitions. The modular invariance of the torus amplitudes is discussed.
