Type I string theory

The classic 1976 work of Ferdinando Gliozzi, Joel Scherk and David Olive paved the way to a systematic understanding of the rules behind string spectra in cases where only closed strings are present via modular invariance but did not lead to similar progress for models with closed strings, despite the fact that the original discussion was based on the type I string theory.
