An important aspect of this work is that the microlocal and global kernel structure of the inverse operator (solution operator) of a parabolic boundary value problem for large times is clarified.

Upper bounds for these estimates are obtained for arbitrary N-point superstring scattering amplitudes and are shown to be consistent with exact results obtained for special type II string amplitudes for orbifold or Calabi-Yau compactifications.
