Dynamics of perturbations in Double Field Theory & non-relativistic string theory [PDF]
A bstractDouble Field Theory provides a geometric framework capable of describing string theory backgrounds that cannot be understood purely in terms of Riemannian geometry — not only globally (‘non-geometry’), but even locally (‘non-Riemannian’).

Asymptotic scalar field cosmology in string theory
Asymptotic (late-time) cosmology depends on the asymptotic (infinite-distance) limits of scalar field space in string theory. Such limits feature an exponentially decaying potential V ~ exp(−cϕ) with corresponding Hubble scale H ~ ϕ ̇ 2 + 2 V $$ \sqrt ...

String-theoretic breakdown of effective field theory near black hole horizons [PDF]
We investigate the validity of the equivalence principle near horizons in string theory, analyzing the breakdown of effective field theory caused by longitudinal string spreading effects.

Space-Time Noncommutative Field Theories And Unitarity [PDF]
We study the perturbative unitarity of noncommutative scalar field theories. Field theories with space-time noncommutativity do not have a unitary S-matrix. Field theories with only space noncommutativity are perturbatively unitary.

The Ramond sector of heterotic string field theory [PDF]
We attempt to construct the full equations of motion for the Neveu-Schwarz and the Ramond sectors of the heterotic string field theory. Although they are non-polynomial also in the Ramond string field $\Psi$, we can construct them order by order in $\Psi$

Background independence of closed superstring field theory
Given a family of world-sheet superconformal field theories related by marginal deformation, we can formulate superstring field theory based on any of these world-sheet theories.

A Background Independent Formulation of Noncritical String Theory [PDF]
Using the string field theory recently proposed by the authors and collaborators, we give a background independent formulation of rational noncritical string theories with $c\leq 1$. With a little modification of the string field Hamiltonians previously constructed, we obtain string field theories which include various rational noncritical string ...

SYM Description of PP-wave String Interactions: Singlet Sector and Arbitrary Impurities [PDF]
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 ...

Tachyon Dynamics in Open String Theory [PDF]
In this review we describe our current understanding of the properties of open string tachyons on an unstable D-brane or brane-antibrane system in string theory. The various string theoretic methods used for this study include techniques of two dimensional conformal field theory, open string field theory, boundary string field theory, non-commutative ...

Closed string deformations in open string field theory. Part II. Superstring
This is the second paper of a series of three. We construct effective open-closed superstring couplings by classically integrating out massive fields from open superstring field theories coupled to an elementary gauge invariant tadpole proportional to an
