Split string field theory I [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2001 We describe the ghost sector of cubic string field theory in terms of degrees of freedom on the two halves of a split string. In particular, we represent a class of pure ghost BRST operators as operators on the space of half-string functionals. These BRST operators were postulated by Rastelli, Sen, and Zwiebach to give a description of cubic string ...

SO(32) Spinors of Type I and Other Solitons on Brane-Antibrane Pair [PDF]
, 1998 We construct the SO(32) spinor state in weakly coupled type I string theory as a kink solution of the tachyon field on the D-string - anti-D-string pair and calculate its mass.

Aspects of Nonrelativistic Strings
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 We review recent developments on nonrelativistic string theory. In flat spacetime, the theory is defined by a two-dimensional relativistic quantum field theory with nonrelativistic global symmetries acting on the worldsheet fields.

INTERPOLATING STRING FIELD THEORIES [PDF]
Modern Physics Letters A, 1992 A minimal area problem imposing different length conditions on open and closed curves is shown to define a one-parameter family of covariant open-closed quantum string field theories. These interpolate from a recently proposed factorizable open-closed theory up to an extended version of Witten’s open string field theory capable of incorporating on ...

Classical open string amplitudes from boundary string field theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We calculate the corrections to the open string BRST charge in boundary string field theory and show that the expansion coefficients agree with the perturbative S-matrix to all orders.

SYM Description of PP-wave String Interactions: Singlet Sector and Arbitrary Impurities [PDF]
, 2003 We study string interactions among string states with arbitrary impurities in the Type IIB plane wave background using string field theory. We reproduce all string amplitudes from gauge theory by computing matrix elements of the dilatation operator in a ...

String theory or field theory? [PDF]
Physics-Uspekhi, 2002 The status of string theory is reviewed, and major recent developments - especially those in going beyond perturbation theory in the string theory and quantum field theory frameworks - are discussed. This analysis helps better understand the role and place of string theory in the modern picture of the physical world.

Physics Reports, 1989 Abstract We present an account of string field theory which aims to introduce the reader to the important concepts of the subjects as well as to aid access to the literature. Light cone string theory is briefly reviewed, but the emphasis is on the covariant approach exploiting world sheet BRST invariance to define string field derivations ...

The ZZ annulus one-point function in non-critical string theory: A string field theory analysis
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We compute the ZZ annulus one-point function of the cosmological constant operator in non-critical string theory, regulating divergences from the boundaries of moduli space using string field theory.

Vacuum String Field Theory [PDF]
, 2001 This is a brief review of vacuum string field theory, a new approach to open string field theory based on the stable vacuum of the tachyon. We discuss the sliver state explaining its role as a projector in the space of half-string functionals. We review the construction of D-brane solutions in vacuum string field theory, both in the algebraic approach ...
