Field Theory Questions for String Theory Answers [PDF]

, 1996
We discuss the field theory of 3-brane probes in F-theory compactifications in two configurations, generalizing the work of Sen and of Banks, Douglas and Seiberg. One configuration involves several parallel 3-brane probes in F-theory compactified on $T^4/

Light-cone reduction of Witten’s open string field theory

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We elucidate some exact relations between light-cone and covariant string field theories on the basis of the homological perturbation lemma for A ∞.

T-duality in nonrelativistic open string theory

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021
Nonrelativistic open string theory is defined by a worldsheet theory that produces a Galilean invariant string spectrum and is described at low energies by a nonrelativistic Yang-Mills theory [1].

On open-closed extension of boundary string field theory

, 2012
We investigate a classical open-closed string field theory whose open string sector is given by boundary string field theory. The open-closed interaction is introduced by the overlap of a boundary state with a closed string field.

Background field method for nonlinear sigma models in nonrelativistic string theory

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
We continue the study of nonrelativistic string theory in background fields. Nonrelativistic string theory is described by a nonlinear sigma model that maps a relativistic worldsheet to a non-Lorentzian and non-Riemannian target space geometry, which is ...

Field Theory Correlators and String Theory [PDF]

, 2005
It appears that string-M-theory is the only viable candidate for a complete theory of matter. It must therefore contain both gravity and QCD. What is particularly surprising is the recent conjecture that strongly coupled QCD matrix elements can be evaluated though a duality with weakly coupled gravity.

String field theory

, 2009
This elementary introduction to string field theory highlights the features and the limitations of this approach to quantum gravity as it is currently understood. String field theory is a formulation of string theory as a field theory in space-time with an infinite number of massive fields. Although existing constructions of string field theory require

Boundary modes in string field theory

Journal of High Energy Physics
We discuss the construction of boundary contributions to free string field theory actions in the context of the bosonic string. We show that it is generally possible to obtain a well-defined variational principle by adding a simple boundary term (which ...

N=2 structures in all string theories

, 1995
The BRST cohomology of any topological conformal field theory admits the structure of a Batalin--Vilkovisky algebra, and string theories are no exception.
