A note on bosonic open strings in constant B field
Abstract
We sketch the main steps of old covariant quantization of bosonic open strings in a constant B field background. We comment on its space-time symmetries and the induced effective metric. The low-energy spectrum is evaluated and the appearance of a new non-commutative gauge symmetry is addressed.
