b'The topic of this thesis is the correspondence of open and closed strings. Already for a long time it has been evident that those both sectors of string theory do not only couple to each other, but it is also possible to identify excitations of the closed string in the open string sector. This correspondence has been shown in a multitude of examples, which indicates a deep connection.'
