Abstract

We review some recent results on the calculation of renormalization constants in Yang-Mills theory using the bosonic string. The technology of string amplitudes, supplemented with an appropriate continuation off the mass shell, can be used to compute the ultraviolet divergences of dimensionally regularized gauge theories. Performing the infinite tension limit on the string amplitudes the results of the background field method in field theory are recovered.
