Normal ordering and boundary conditions in open bosonic strings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Boundary conditions play a non trivial role in string theory. For instance the rich structure of D-branes is generated by choosing appropriate combinations of Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. Furthermore, when an antisymmetric background is present at the string end-points (corresponding to mixed boundary conditions) space time becomes non-commutative there. We show here how to build up normal ordered products for bosonic string position operators that satisfy both equations of motion and open string boundary conditions at quantum level. We also calculate the equal time commutator of these normal ordered products in the presence of antisymmetric tensor background.

Consistent Boundary Conditions for Open Strings
We study boundary conditions for the bosonic, spinning (NSR) and GreenSchwarz open string, as well as for 1+1 dimensional supergravity. We consider boundary conditions that arise from (1) extremizing the action, (2) BRST, rigid or local supersymmetry, or κ(Siegel)-symmetry of the action, (3) closure of the set of boundary conditions under the symmetry transformations, and (4) the boundary limit...
متن کاملLiouville D-branes in Two-Dimensional Strings and Open String Field Theory
We study open strings in the noncritical c = 1 bosonic string theory compactified on a circle at self-dual radius. These strings live on D-branes that are extended along the Liouville direction (FZZT branes). We present explicit expressions for the disc twoand three-point functions of boundary operators in this theory, as well as the bulk-boundary two-point function. The expressions obtained ar...
متن کاملBosonic D-branes at finite temperature with an external field
Bosonic boundary states at finite temperature are constructed as solutions of boundary conditions at T 6= 0 for bosonic open strings with a constant gauge field Fab coupled to the boundary. The construction is done in the framework of the thermo field dynamics where a thermal Bogoliubov transformation maps states and operators to finite temperature. Boundary states are given in terms of states ...
متن کاملNonlinear vibration analysis of axially moving strings in thermal environment
In this study, nonlinear vibration of axially moving strings in thermal environment is investigated. The vibration haracteristics of the system such as natural frequencies, time domain response and stability states are studied at different temperatures. The velocity of the axial movement is assumed to be constant with minor harmonic variations. It is presumed that the system and the environment...
متن کاملClassical Open String Integrability
We present a simple procedure to construct non-local conserved charges for classical open strings on coset spaces. This is done by including suitable reflection matrices on the classical transfer matrix. The reflection matrices must obey certain conditions for the charges to be conserved and in involution. We then study bosonic open strings on AdS5×S. We consider boundary conditions correspondi...
