ON THE BACKGROUND INDEPENDENCE OF STRING FIELD THEORY III. Explicit Field Redefinitions
نویسنده
چکیده
Given two conformal field theories related to each other by a marginal perturbation, and string field theories constructed around such backgrounds, we show how to construct explicit redefinition of string fields which relate these two string field theories. The analysis is carried out completely for quadratic and cubic terms in the action. Although a general proof of existence of field redefinitions which relate higher point vertices is not given, specific examples are discussed. Equivalence of string field theories formulated around two conformal field theories which are not close to each other, but are related to each other by a series of marginal deformations, is also discussed. The analysis can also be applied to study the equivalence of different formulation of string field theories around the same background.

DEVELOPMENT 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...
متن کاملOn tadpoles and vacuum redefinitions in String Theory
Tadpoles accompany, in one form or another, all attempts to realize supersymmetry breaking in String Theory, making the present constructions at best incomplete. Whereas these tadpoles are typically large, a closer look at the problem from a perturbative viewpoint has the potential of illuminating at least some of its qualitative features in String Theory. A possible scheme to this effect was p...
متن کاملField Redefinitions in String Theory as a Solution Generating Technique
The purpose of this work is to show that there exists an additional invariance of the βfunction equations of string theory on d + 1-dimensional targets with d toroidal isometries. It corresponds to a shift of the dilaton field and a scaling of the lapse function, and is reminiscent of string field redefinitions. While it preserves the form of the β-function equations, it changes the effective a...
متن کاملInduced Curvature in Brane Worlds by Surface Terms in String Effective Actions with Higher-Curvature Corrections
In string-inspired effective actions, representing the low-energy bulk dynamics of brane/string theories, the higher-curvature ghost-free Gauss-Bonnet combination is obtained by local field redefinitions which leave the (perturbative) string amplitudes invariant. We show that such redefinitions lead to surface terms which induce curvature on the brane world boundary of the bulk spacetime. ∗ ema...
