A new example of singularity in the sense of string theory for nonsingular spacetime metric is presented. The 4-tachyon scattering amplitude is constructed. The spectrum of states found from the poles in the factorization turns out to be equivalent to that of the theory in flat space-time. The massless vertex operator is obtained from the residue of the first order pole.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1993-11-30T12:52:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "plane wave backgrounds", "exact plane wave background", "string theory", "first order pole", "nonsingular spacetime metric" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
