Abstract: (Elsevier)

We derive a formula which expresses any closed string tree amplitude in terms of a sum of the products of appropriate open string tree amplitudes. This formula is applicable to the heterotic string as well as to the closed bosonic string and type II superstrings. In particular, we demonstrate its use by showing how to write down, without any direct calculation, all four-point heterotic string tree amplitudes with massless external particles.
