Role of short distance behavior in off-shell open-string field theory.
A recent proposal for a background independent open string field theory is studied in detail for a class of backgrounds that correspond to general quadratic boundary interactions on the world-sheet. A short-distance cut-off is introduced to formulate the theory with a finite number of local and potentially unrenormalizable boundary couplings. It is shown that renormalization of the boundary cou...
متن کامل8 Open - Closed String Correspondence in Open String Field Theory
We address the problem of describing different closed string backgrounds in background independent open string field theory: A shift in the closed string background corresponds to a collective excitation of open strings. As an illustration we apply the formalism to the case where the closed string background is a group manifold.
متن کاملOn off-shell structure of open string sigma model
We analyze several problems related to off-shell structure of open string sigma model by using a combination of derivative expansion and expansion in powers of the fields. According to the sigma model approach to bosonic open string theory, the tachyon effective action S(T ) coincides with the renormalized partition function Z(T ) of sigma model on a disk, up to a term vanishing on shell. On th...
متن کاملOpen string field theory without open strings
Witten’s cubic open string field theory is expanded around the perturbatively stable vacuum, including all scalar fields at levels 0, 2, 4 and 6. The (approximate) BRST cohomology of the theory is computed, giving strong evidence for the absence of physical open string states in this vacuum.
متن کاملOff-shell String Physics *
Recent advances in non-critical string theory allow a unique continuation, preserving con-formal invariance, of critical Polyakov string amplitudes to off-shell momenta. These continuations possess unusual, apparently stringy, characteristics, which are unlikely to be reproduced in a string field theory. Thus our results may be an indication that some fundamentally new formulation, other than s...
