# Why does string theory (in case it is true ) have NO divergencies?

Why is string theory in 10 or 26 dimension not divergent? Due to the high number of spacetime dimension (10 or 26) it should have a lot of UV divergencies of the form $\int k^{n}dk$ and gravity within the approach of the string theory should be non-renormalizable too, or shouldn't it?

You must remember that string theory trades in an infinite tower of particles for a worldsheet, and the final world-sheet sum is much milder and more nonlocal than any of the particle sums that go into it. The momentum integration is not unbounded, because high k fluctuations become worldsheet fluctuations, and at high energy they are infrared big. –  Ron Maimon Apr 8 '12 at 6:31
