 String vertex operator (source code)

= String vertex operator

A <string vertex operator> inserts an asymptotic string state at a point of the worldsheet. Its <conformal weights> encode the physical-state and <mass-shell conditions>.

These insertions are described by the state-field correspondence of a <vertex operator algebra>; an individual insertion is not the whole algebra.
