Abstract

We consider the Compton amplitude for the scattering of a photon and an (massless) "electron/positron" at one loop (i.e. genus 1) in a four-dimensional fermionic heterotic string model. Starting from the bosonization of the world sheet fermions needed to explicitly construct the spin fields representing the space–time fermions, we present all the steps of the computation which leads to the explicit form of the amplitude as an integral of modular forms over the moduli space.
