String Theory - Closed strings and the level matching rule

This lecture starts with a review of Noether’s theorem, which links continuous symmetries with conserved quantities (charges). The model of a closed string is developed following the earlier procedure for open strings. The energy spectrum is similar but with a new constraint called the level matching rule linking the energy of waves in each direction around the string that is connected to Noether’s theorem.
