Summing over geometries in string theory

Abstract We examine the question how string theory achieves a sum over bulk geometries with fixed asymptotic boundary conditions. We discuss this problem with the help of the tensionless string on ℳ 3 × S 3 × T 4 $$ {\mathrm{\mathcal{M}}}_3\times {\mathrm{S}}^3\times {\mathbbm{T}}^4 $$ (with one uni...
