Abstract: (Elsevier)
Multi-loop calculations in closed bosonic string theory are considered using the Polyakov path-integral formalism. The functional determinants that enter the problem are evaluated to arbitrary string-loop order. It is demonstrated that various divergences arising in the definition of such determinants can be eliminated by appropriate renormalizations.
