Open 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 کاملTemporal-gauge String Field with Open Strings
A string field theory including open string fields is constructed in the temporal gauge. It consists of string interaction vertices similar to the light-cone gauge string field theory. A slight modification of the definition of the time coordinate is needed because of the existence of the open string end points.
متن کامل8 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 Strings and 3d Topological Field Theory
In the perturbative formulation of string theory the partition function in the background of D-branes can be expanded as Z string = g,b g −2+2g+b s Z g,b. (1) Here Z g,b is the value of the diagram given by a Riemann surface of genus g with b boundary components. One way to compute the numbers Z g,b is to work in conformal gauge. In this gauge one obtains a conformal field theory (CFT) living o...
متن کاملOpen String Field Theory on Noncommutative Space
We study Witten’s open string field theory in the presence of a constant B field. We construct the string field theory in the operator formalism and find that, compared to the ordinary theory with no B field, the vertices in the resulting theory has an additional factor. The factor makes the zero modes of strings noncommutative. This is in agreement with the results in the first-quantized formu...
