Abstract
We consider the quantization of strings in general massive background fields. Imposing Weyl invariance leads to equations that generalize the β-function equations of the massless theory. Considering in detail the open string we show how the requirement of Weyl invariance produces the linearized string field theory equations of motion possessing a partial gauge invariance. Weyl anomaly contributions of the correlation functions are important for this correspondence. We also display how ghost type vertex operators can couple in the background 2D σ-model.
