Ratio of Tensions from Vacuum String Field Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We show analytically that the ratio of the norm of sliver states agrees with the ratio of D-brane tensions. We find that the correct ratio appears as a twist anomaly.

Vacuum String Field Theory with B field
We continue the analysis of Vacuum String Field Theory in the presence of a constant B field. In particular we give a proof of the ratio of brane tensions is the expected one. On the wake of the recent literature we introduce wedge–like states and orthogonal projections. Finally we show a few examples of the smoothing out effects of the B field on some of the singularities that appear in VSFT.
متن کاملString Field Theory Around the Tachyon Vacuum
Assuming that around the tachyon vacuum the kinetic term of cubic open string field theory is made purely of ghost operators we are led to gauge invariant actions which manifestly implement the absence of open string dynamics around this vacuum. We test this proposal by showing the existence of lump solutions of arbitrary codimension in this string field theory. The key ingredients in this anal...
متن کاملBoundary CFT Construction of D - branes in Vacuum String Field
In previous papers we built (multiple) D-branes in flat space-time as classical solutions of the string field theory based on the tachyon vacuum. In this paper we construct classical solutions describing all D-branes in any fixed space-time background defined by a two dimensional CFT of central charge 26. A key role is played by the geometrical definition of the sliver state in general boundary...
متن کاملVacuum string field theory without matter-ghost factorization
We show that vacuum string field theory with the singular kinetic operator conjectured by Gaiotto, Rastelli, Sen and Zwiebach can be obtained by field redefinition from a regular theory constructed by Takahashi and Tanimoto. We solve the equation of motion both by level truncation and by a series expansion using the regulated butterfly state, and we find evidence that the energy density of a D2...
متن کاملLoop Corrected Tachyon Condensation
We study loop corrections in boundary string field theory (BSFT). After commenting on problems with quantizing the tree level BSFT as an ordinary field theory, we discuss the tree level coupling to closed strings and define the loop corrections via factorization in the closed string channel. This description is weakly coupled in the vicinity of the closed string vacuum. Our proposal for the one...
