Boundary CFT Construction of D - branes in Vacuum String Field
نویسنده
چکیده
In previous papers we built (multiple) D-branes in flat space-time as classical solutions of the string field theory based on the tachyon vacuum. In this paper we construct classical solutions describing all D-branes in any fixed space-time background defined by a two dimensional CFT of central charge 26. A key role is played by the geometrical definition of the sliver state in general boundary CFT’s. The correct values for ratios of D-brane tensions arise because the norm of the sliver solution is naturally related to the disk partition function of the appropriate boundary CFT. We also explore the possibility of reproducing the known spectrum of physical states on a D-brane as deformations of the sliver.

متن کاملPSU / TH - 247 NSF - ITP - 01 - 159 Oscillator Representation of the BCFT Construction of D - branes in Vacuum String Field Theory
Starting from the boundary CFT definition for the D-branes in vacuum string field theory (VSFT) given in hep-th/0105168, we derive the oscillator expression for the D24brane solution in the VSFT on D25-brane. We show that the state takes the form of a squeezed state, similar to the one found directly in terms of the oscillators and reported in hep-th/0102112. Both the solutions are actually one...
متن کاملVacuum String Field Theory
This is a brief review of vacuum string field theory, a new approach to open string field theory based on the stable vacuum of the tachyon. We discuss the sliver state explaining its role as a projector in the space of half-string functionals. We review the construction of D-brane solutions in vacuum string field theory, both in the algebraic approach and in the more general geometrical approac...
متن کاملComments on D-branes in AdS3
We study D-branes that preserve a diagonal SL(2) affine Lie algebra in string theory on AdS3. We find three classes of solutions, corresponding to the following representations of SL(2): (1) degenerate, finite dimensional representations with half integer spin, (2) principal continuous series, (3) principal discrete series. We solve the bootstrap equations for the vacuum wave functions and disc...
