Causality in string field theory
Abstract In this letter, we will investigate causality in string field theory using pp-wave light-cone gauge string field theory. We will generalise the Ramsey scheme to string field theory, and use it to analyze string field theoretical processes.

Closed string deformations in open string field theory. Part I. Bosonic string
This is the first of a series of three papers on open string field theories based on Witten star product deformed with a gauge invariant open/closed coupling.

Fixing an ambiguity in two dimensional string theory using string field theory
In a recent paper, Balthazar, Rodriguez and Yin found some remarkable agreement between the results of c = 1 matrix model and D-instanton corrections in two dimensional string theory.

Conformal defects from string field theory
Unlike conformal boundary conditions, conformal defects of Virasoro minimal models lack classification. Alternatively to the defect perturbation theory and the truncated conformal space approach, we employ open string field theory (OSFT) techniques to ...

On string fields and superstring field theories [PDF]
We offer some thoughts regarding the space of string fields. We suggest that this space should be identified as the odd component of a star-algebra and focus among other issues on the role of the mid-point. We argue that theories with mid-point insertions in the action, such as the modified cubic theory can be well behaved, even if this mid-point ...

Mean string field theory: Landau-Ginzburg theory for 1-form symmetries
By analogy with the Landau-Ginzburg theory of ordinary zero-form symmetries, we introduce and develop a Landau-Ginzburg theory of one-form global symmetries, which we call mean string field theory.

THE SPACE OF STRING CONFIGURATIONS IN STRING FIELD THEORY [PDF]
In this paper we consider the set of maps from the interval [0, π] which constitute the argument of the functionals of a String Field Theory. We show that in order to correctly reproduce results of the dual model one has to include all square integrable functions in the functional integral, or Ω0 in terms of Sobolev spaces.

Mapping between Witten and lightcone string field theories
We propose a transformation between the off-shell field variables of Witten’s open bosonic string field theory and the traditional lightcone string field theory of Kaku and Kikkawa, based on Mandelstam’s interacting string picture.

String theory in electromagnetic fields [PDF]
A review of various aspects of superstrings in background electromagnetic fields is presented. Topics covered include the Born-Infeld action, spectrum of open strings in background gauge fields, the Schwinger mechanism, finite-temperature formalism and Hagedorn behaviour in external fields, Debye screening, D-brane scattering, thermodynamics of D ...
