Heterotic String Field Theory Yuji
We construct the Neveu-Schwarz sector of heterotic string field theory using the large Hilbert space of the superghosts and the multi-string products of bosonic closed string field theory. No picture-changing operators are required as in Wess-Zumino-Witten-like open superstring field theory. The action exhibits a novel kind of nonpolynomiality: in addition to terms necessary to cover missing re...
متن کاملThe closed string tadpole in open string field theory
We compute a class of gauge invariant observables for marginal solutions and the tachyon vacuum. In each case we find that the observables are related in a simple way to the closedstring tadpole on a disk with appropriate boundary conditions. We give a sketch of an argument that this result should hold in general using the BRST invariance of the closed string two-point function. Finally, we dis...
متن کاملString–Unification, Universal One–Loop Corrections and Strongly Coupled Heterotic String Theory
We derive the universal threshold corrections in heterotic string theory including a continuous Wilson line. Unification of gauge and gravitational couplings is shown to be possible even within perturbative string theory. The relative importance of gauge group dependent and independent thresholds on unification is clarified. Equipped with these results we can then attempt an extrapolation to th...
متن کاملTopics in Two-Dimensional Field Theory and Heterotic String Theory
We study a myriad of topics related to string theories in two dimensions and/or to heterotic string theories. In chapter 2, we use the duality of two-dimensional string theory with matrix models to study arbitrary time-dependent backgrounds. As an example, we study the case of a Fermi droplet cosmology and analyze properties of the coordinates in which the metric is trivial; we also comment on ...
متن کامل1 Boundary String Field Theory at One - loop
We apply the boundary string field theory (BSFT) to a unstable D-brane system to study the open-closed string duality at one loop in the presence of the tachyon condensation. The partition function at one-loop level is calculated by using both open and closed string channels. We find that the results from two different channels coincide, thus the open-closed string duality holds even off-shell.
