Vacuum String Field Theory
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 and in the more general geometrical approac...
متن کاملChan-Paton Soliton Gauge States of Compatified Open String
We study the mechanism of enhanced gauge symmetry of bosonic open string compatified on torus by analyzing the zero-norm soliton (nonzero winding of wilson line) gauge states in the spectrum. Unlike the closed string case, we find that the soliton gauge state exists only at massive levels. These soliton gauge states correspond to the existence of enhanced massive gauge symmetries with transform...
متن کاملVacuum String Field Theory with B field
We continue the analysis of Vacuum String Field Theory in the presence of a constant B field. In particular we give a proof of the ratio of brane tensions is the expected one. On the wake of the recent literature we introduce wedge–like states and orthogonal projections. Finally we show a few examples of the smoothing out effects of the B field on some of the singularities that appear in VSFT.
متن کاملBubbling AdS and Vacuum String Field Theory
We show that a family of 1/2–BPS states of N = 4 SYM is in correspondence with a family of classical solutions of VSFT with a B–field playing the role of the inverse Planck constant. We show this correspondence by relating the Wigner distributions of the N fermion systems representing such states, to low energy space profiles of systems of VSFT D-branes. In this context the Pauli exclusion prin...
متن کاملString Field Theory Around the Tachyon Vacuum
Assuming that around the tachyon vacuum the kinetic term of cubic open string field theory is made purely of ghost operators we are led to gauge invariant actions which manifestly implement the absence of open string dynamics around this vacuum. We test this proposal by showing the existence of lump solutions of arbitrary codimension in this string field theory. The key ingredients in this anal...
