Vacuum String Field Theory ancestors of the GMS solitons

We define a sequence of VSFT D–branes whose low energy limit leads exactly to a corresponding sequence of GMS solitons. The D–branes are defined by acting on a fixed VSFT lump with operators defined by means of Laguerre polynomials whose argument is quadratic in the string creation operators. The states obtained in this way form an algebra under the SFT star product, which is isomorphic to a corresponding algebra of GMS solitons under the Moyal product. In order to obtain a regularized field theory limit we embed the theory in a constant background B field, but the form of the results we obtain is independent of the value of B.
