Abstract

This paper is devoted to recent progress made towards the understanding of closed bosonic and fermionic string perturbation theory, formulated in a Lorentz-covariant way on Euclidean space-time. Special emphasis is put on the fundamental role of Riemann surfaces and supersurfaces. The differential and complex geometry of their moduli space is developed as needed. New results for the superstring presented here include the supergeometric construction of amplitudes, their chiral and superholomorphic splitting and a global formulation of supermoduli space and amplitudes.
