Level truncation analysis of exact solutions in open string field theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We evaluate vacuum energy density of Schnabl’s solution using the level truncation calculation and the total action including interaction terms. The level truncated solution provides vacuum energy density expected both for tachyon vacuum and trivial pure gauge. We discuss the role of the phantom term to reproduce correct vacuum energy. ∗E-mail address: [email protected]

Wilson Lines and Classical Solutions in Cubic Open String Field Theory
We construct exact classical solutions in cubic open string field theory. By the redefinition of the string field, we find that the solutions correspond to finite deformations of the Wilson lines. The solutions are well-defined in level truncation scheme, and they have no branch cut singularity of marginal parameters which was found in the analysis using level truncation approximation in Feynma...
متن کاملTwist Symmetry and Classical Solutions in Open String Field Theory
We construct classical solutions of open string field theory which are not invariant under ordinary twist operation. From detailed analysis of the moduli space of the solutions, it turns out that our solutions become nontrivial at boundaries of the moduli space. The cohomology of the modified BRST operator and the CSFT potential evaluated by the level truncation method strongly support the fact...
متن کاملSolving Witten’s string field theory using the butterfly state
We solve the equation of motion of Witten’s cubic open string field theory in a series expansion using the regulated butterfly state. The expansion parameter is given by the regularization parameter of the butterfly state, which can be taken to be arbitrarily small. Unlike the case of level truncation, the equation of motion can be solved for an arbitrary component of the Fock space up to a pos...
متن کاملTest of the Absence of Kinetic Terms around the Tachyon Vacuum in Cubic String Field Theory
It has been conjectured that the bosonic open string theory around the nonperturbative tachyon vacuum has no open string dynamics at all. We explore, in the cubic open string field theory with level truncation approximation, the possibility that this conjecture is realized by the absence of kinetic terms of the string field fluctuations. We study the kinetic terms with two and four derivatives ...
متن کاملD-brane effective field theory from string field theory
Open string field theory is considered as a tool for deriving the effective action for the massless or tachyonic fields living on D-branes. Some simple calculations are performed in open bosonic string field theory which validate this approach. The level truncation method is used to calculate successive approximations to the quartic terms φ4, (AAμ) 2 and [Aμ, Aν ] 2 for the zero momentum tachyo...
