Some computations in background-independent off-shell string theory.
Recently, background independent open-string field theory has been formally defined in the space of all two-dimensional world-sheet theories. In this paper, to make the construction more concrete, I compute the action for an off-shell tachyon field of a certain simple type. From the computation it emerges that, although the string field action does not coincide with the world-sheet (matter) par...
متن کاملSome Computations of Partition Functions and Tachyon Potentials in Background Independent Off-Shell String Theory
We discuss what information can be safely extracted from background independent off-shell string theory. The major obstacle in doing so is that renormalization conditions of the underlying worldsheet theories are not exactly known. To get some insight, we first consider the tachyon and gauge field backgrounds and carry out computations in different renormalization schemes for both, bosonic stri...
متن کاملOn background-independent open-string field theory.
A framework for background independent open-string field theory is proposed. The approach involves using the BV formalism – in a way suggested by recent developments in closed-string field theory – to implicitly define a gauge invariant Lagrangian in a hypothetical “space of all open-string world-sheet theories.” It is built into the formalism that classical solutions of the string field theory...
متن کاملOff-shell String Physics *
Recent advances in non-critical string theory allow a unique continuation, preserving con-formal invariance, of critical Polyakov string amplitudes to off-shell momenta. These continuations possess unusual, apparently stringy, characteristics, which are unlikely to be reproduced in a string field theory. Thus our results may be an indication that some fundamentally new formulation, other than s...
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY
The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...
