Open String Fields As Matrices

چکیده
We present a new representation of the string vertices of the cubic open string field theory. By using this three-string vertex, we attempt to identify open string fields as huge-sized matrices by following Witten's idea. By using these huge matrices, we obtain some results about the construction of partial isometries in the algebra of open string fields.

Open+Closed String Field Theory From Gauge Fields
We study open and closed string interactions in the Type IIB plane wave background using open+closed string field theory. We reproduce all string amplitudes from the dual N = 2 Sp(N) gauge theory by computing matrix elements of the dilatation operator. A direct diagrammatic correspondence is found between string theory and gauge theory Feynman diagrams. The prefactor and Neumann matrices of ope...
متن کاملN-string vertices in string field theory.
We give the general form of the vertex corresponding to the interaction of an arbitrary number of strings. The technique employed relies on the “comma” representation of String Field Theory where string fields and interactions are represented as matrices and operations between them such as multiplication and trace. The general formulation presented here shows that the interaction vertex of N st...
متن کاملOpen-Closed String Field Theory in the Background B-Field
In this paper, we study open-closed string field theory in the background B-field in the so-called α = p formulation. The string field theory in the infrared gives noncommutative gauge theory in the open string sector. Since this theory includes closed string fields as dynamical variables, we can obtain another string field theory in the same background through the condensation of closed string...
متن کاملTowards open–closed string duality: Closed Strings as Open String Fields
We establish a translation dictionary between open and closed strings, starting from open string field theory. Under this correspondence, (off–shell) level–matched closed string states are represented by star algebra projectors in open string field theory. Particular attention is paid to the zero mode sector, which is indispensable in order to generate closed string states with momentum. As an ...
متن کاملBulk and Boundary S Matrices for the SU (N ) Chain
We consider both closed and open integrable antiferromagnetic chains constructed with the SU(N )-invariant R matrix. For the closed chain, we extend the analyses of Sutherland and Kulish – Reshetikhin by considering also complex “string” solutions of the Bethe Ansatz equations. Such solutions are essential to describe general multiparticle excited states. We also explicitly determine the SU(N )...
