چکیده
The BRST cohomology analysis of Lian and Zuckerman leads to physical states at all ghost number for c < 1 matter coupled to Liouville gravity. We show how these states are related to states at ghost numbers zero(pure vertex operator states – DK states) and ghost number one(ring elements) by means of descent equations. These descent equations follow from the double cohomology of the String BRST and Felder BRST operators. We briefly discuss how the ring elements allow one to determine all correlation functions on the sphere.

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 کاملTopological Structure in ĉ = 1 Fermionic String Theory
ĉ = 1 fermionic string theory, which is considered as a fermionic string theory in two dimension, is shown to decompose into two mutually independent parts, one of which can be viewed as a topological model and the other is irrelevant for the theory. The physical contents of the theory is largely governed by this topological structure, and the discrete physical spectrum of ĉ = 1 string theory i...
متن کاملOn the equivalence of fermionic string to bosonic string in two dimensions
Two-dimensional fermionic string theory is shown to have a structure of topological model, which is isomorphic to a tensor product of two topological ghost systems independent of each other. One of them is identified with c = 1 bosonic string theory while the other has trivial physical contents. This fact enables us to regard two-dimensional fermionic string theory as an embedding of c = 1 boso...
متن کامل4 v 1 1 6 Se p 20 03 GEF - TH - 9 - 2003 Physical States at the Tachyonic Vacuum of Open String Field Theory
We illustrate a method for computing the number of physical states of open string theory at the stable tachyonic vacuum in level trun-cation approximation. The method is based on the analysis of the gauge-fixed open string field theory quadratic action that includes Fadeev-Popov ghost string fields. Computations up to level 9 in the scalar sector are consistent with Sen's conjecture about the a...
متن کاملPhysical Degrees of Freedom in 2-D String Field Theories
States in the absolute (semi-relative) cohomology but not in the relative cohomology are examined through the component decomposition of the string field theory action for the 2-D string. It is found that they are auxiliary fields without kinetic terms, but are important for instance in the master equation for the Ward-Takahashi identities. The ghost structure is analyzed in the Siegel gauge, b...
