The equations of motion for the massless modes of the closed bosonic string are obtained in the adiabatic approximation from the requirement of the vanishing of the curvature of appropriate vector bundles over the space of complex structures Diff S1/S1. This vanishing is required for physical states to be independent of string parametrization.

We say that a real vector bundle ξ over a finite C.W. complex X is stably trivial of type (n, k) or, simply, of type (n, k) if ξ ⊕ kε ≅ nε, where ε denotes a trivial line bundle. The following theorem is an immediate corollary (see (12)) of a theorem of T. Y. Lam ((9), theorem 2).

The second chapter introduces the basic concepts of symplectic topology in the linear algebra setting, such as symplectic vector spaces, the linear symplectic group, Lagrangian subspaces, and the Maslov index. In the section on linear complex structures particular emphasis is placed on the homotopy equivalence between the space of symplectic forms and the space of linear complex structures. The chapter includes sections on symplectic vector bundles and the first Chern class.
