Abstract

We consider the theory of the open bosonic string in massive background fields. The general structure of renormalization in investigated. A general covariant action for a string in background fields of the first massive level is suggested and its symmetries are described. Equations of motion for the background fields are obtained by demanding that the renormalized operator of the energy-momentum tensor trace vanishes.
