Orientifolds, RG Flows, and Closed String Tachyons
We discuss the fate of certain tachyonic closed string theories from two perspectives. In both cases our approach involves studying directly configurations with finite negative treelevel cosmological constant. Closed string analogues of orientifolds, which carry negative tension, are argued to represent the minima of the tachyon potential in some cases. In other cases, we make use of the fact, ...
متن کاملRG-flows and Open/Closed String Duality
We discuss the interpaly between IR and UV divergences in theories with open and unoriented strings in view of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We start by deriving general formulas for the computation of threshold corrections to gauge couplings in generic configurations with open and unoriented strings. These allow us to discuss the IR/UV correspondence between beta-function coefficients and “dilat...
متن کاملD-branes and Closed String Field Theory
D-branes have been studied for many years and used to reveal nonperturbative aspects of string theory. As A. Sen argued, D-branes can be realized as soliton solutions in open string field theory. Now some of his conjectures1 have been proved analytically2 in Witten’s open string field theory.3 What we would like to discuss here is how D-branes can be realized in closed string field theory.

متن کاملDirichlet String Theory and Singular Random Surfaces
We show that string theory with Dirichlet boundaries is equivalent to string theory containing surfaces with certain singular points. Surface curvature is singular at these points. A singular point is resolved in conformal coordinates to a circle with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We also show that moduli parameters of singular surfaces coincide with those of smooth surfaces with boundaries. S...
متن کاملTadpoles and Closed String Backgrounds in Open String Field Theory
We investigate the quantum structure of Witten’s cubic open bosonic string field theory by computing the one-loop contribution to the open string tadpole using both oscillator and conformal field theory methods. We find divergences and a breakdown of BRST invariance in the tadpole diagram arising from tachyonic and massless closed string states, and we discuss ways of treating these problems. F...
