String Field Theory

open access: yes, 2023
String Field Theory is a formulation of String Theory as a Quantum Field Theory in target space. It allows to tame the infrared divergences of String Theory and to approach its non-perturbative structure and background independence.

String Field Theory

open access: yesLecture Notes in Physics, 2021
This book provides an introduction to string field theory (SFT). String theory is usually formulated in the worldsheet formalism, which describes a single string (first-quantization). While this approach is intuitive and could be pushed far due to the exceptional properties of two-dimensional theories, it becomes cumbersome for some questions or even ...

Covariant string field theory. II

Physical Review D, 1986
The covariant string field theory is presented in its full detail for the closed-bosonic-string case. The properties of the interaction vertex of three closed strings are fully clarified. We thus establish the nilpotency of the full nonlinear Becchi-Rouet-Stora (BRS) transformation as well as the BRS invariance of our gauged-fixed action.

String Field Theory

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1987
String theory has emerged as the leading candidate for a unified field theory of all known forces. However, it is impossible to trust the various phenomenological predictions of superstring theory based on classical solutions alone. It appears that the crucial problem of the theory, breaking ten dimensional space-time down to four dimensions, must be ...

Field Theory of Strings

Physica Scripta, 1987
We review the construction of the free equations of motion for open and closed strings in 26 dimensions, using the methods of the Florida Group. Differing from previous treatments, we argue that the constraint L0 - 0 = 0 should not be imposed on all the fields of the closed string in the gauge invariant formalism; we show that it can be incorporated in

Singularities in K-space and multi-brane solutions in cubic string field theory

, 2012
A bstractIn a previous paper [arXiv:1111.2389], we studied the multi-brane solutions in cubic string field theory by focusing on the topological nature of the “winding number” $ \mathcal{N} $ which counts the number of branes. We found that $ \mathcal{N}

The phantom term in open string field theory

, 2012
A bstractWe show that given any two classical solutions in open string field theory and a singular gauge transformation relating them, it is possible to write the second solution as a gauge transformation of the first plus a singular, projector-like ...

Constrained BV description of string field theory

, 2012
A bstractIn the conventional BV description of string field theory, the string field Φ is split as Φ = Ψ + Ψ* where Ψ includes all states with ghost number ≤ G and describes the spacetime fields, and Ψ* includes all states with ghost number > G and ...
