8 Open - Closed String Correspondence in Open String Field Theory
We address the problem of describing different closed string backgrounds in background independent open string field theory: A shift in the closed string background corresponds to a collective excitation of open strings. As an illustration we apply the formalism to the case where the closed string background is a group manifold.
متن کاملOpen string field theory without open strings
Witten’s cubic open string field theory is expanded around the perturbatively stable vacuum, including all scalar fields at levels 0, 2, 4 and 6. The (approximate) BRST cohomology of the theory is computed, giving strong evidence for the absence of physical open string states in this vacuum.
متن کاملStar Democracy in Open String Field Theory
We study three type of star products in SFT: the ghosts, the twisted ghosts and the matter. We find that their Neumann coefficients are related to each other in a compact way which includes the Gross-Jevicki relation between matter and ghost sector: we explicity show that the same relation, with a minus sign, holds for the twisted and nontwisted ghost (which are different but define the same so...
متن کاملHigher Genus Moduli Spaces in Closed String Field Theory
We provide an overview of covariant closed string field theory, covering briefly the geometry of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces, conformal field theory in the operator formalism and the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism. Several important applications are also described including connections on the space of conformal theories, quantum background independence, the ghost-dilaton theorem, and string...
متن کاملTadpoles and Closed String Backgrounds in Open String Field Theory
We investigate the quantum structure of Witten’s cubic open bosonic string field theory by computing the one-loop contribution to the open string tadpole using both oscillator and conformal field theory methods. We find divergences and a breakdown of BRST invariance in the tadpole diagram arising from tachyonic and massless closed string states, and we discuss ways of treating these problems. F...
