Normal ordering and boundary conditions in open bosonic strings

Boundary conditions play a nontrivial role in string theory. For instance, the rich structure of D-branes is generated by choosing appropriate combinations of Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. Furthermore, when an antisymmetric background is present at the string end points (corresponding t...

description Boundary conditions play a nontrivial role in string theory. For instance, the rich structure of D-branes is generated by choosing appropriate combinations of Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. Furthermore, when an antisymmetric background is present at the string end points (corresponding to mixed boundary conditions) space time becomes noncommutative there. We show here how to build up normal ordered products for bosonic string position operators that satisfy both equations of motion and open string boundary conditions at the quantum level. We also calculate the equal time commutator of these normal ordered products in the presence of an antisymmetric tensor background.
