Abstract

We extend the systematic construction of bosonic DDF operators to the light-like linear dilaton background to investigate how higher-spin string states behave beyond flat spacetime. Using previous results, we show that the spectrum-generating algebra is isomorphic to the flat spacetime case up to a few subtleties. This extension provides a controlled setting to explore higher-spin massive string interactions in a nontrivial yet exactly solvable string background. Most of the derivations lead to expressions very similar to those in the flat background, with the expected modifications appearing quite naturally in the spectrum and the deformed momentum-(non)conserving delta function.
