Cyclic products of Szegö kernels and spin structure sums. Part I. Hyper-elliptic formulation

Abstract The summation over spin structures, which is required to implement the GSO projection in the RNS formulation of superstring theories, often presents a significant impediment to the explicit evaluation of superstring amplitudes. In this paper we discover that, for Riemann surfaces of genus t...
