Abstract :
We generalize to the case of compactified superstrings a construction given previously for critical superstrings of finite one-loop amplitudes that are well defined for all external momenta. The novel issues that arise for compactified strings are the appearance of infrared divergences from the propagation of massless strings in four dimensions and, in the case of orbifold schemes, the contribution of tachyons in partial amplitudes with given spin structure and twist sectors. Methods are presented for the resolution of both problems and expressions for finite amplitudes are given in terms of double and single dispersion relations, with explicit spectral densities.
