Stability of the nonperturbative bosonic string vacuum
Article history: Received 27 March 2017 Received in revised form 8 May 2017 Accepted 8 May 2017 Available online 10 May 2017 Editor: N. Lambert Quantization of the bosonic string around the classical, perturbative vacuum is not consistent for spacetime dimensions 2 < d < 26. Recently we have showed that at large d there is another socalled mean-field vacuum. Here we extend this mean-field calcu...
متن کاملTesting the Uniqueness of the Open Bosonic String Field Theory Vacuum
The operators Kn are generators of reparameterization symmetries of Witten’s cubic open string field theory. One pertinent question is whether they can be utilised to generate deformations of the tachyon vacuum and thereby violate its uniqueness. We use level truncation to show that these transformations on the vacuum are in fact pure gauge transformations to a very high accuracy, thus giving n...
متن کاملBRST Invariance of the Non-Perturbative Vacuum in Bosonic Open String Field Theory
Tachyon condensation on a bosonic D-brane was recently demonstrated numerically in Witten’s open string field theory with level truncation approximation. This non-perturbative vacuum, which is obtained by solving the equation of motion, has to satisfy furthermore the requirement of BRST invariance. This is indispensable in order for the theory around the non-perturbative vacuum to be consistent...
متن کاملOn Different Actions for the Vacuum of Bosonic String Field Theory
We study a family of kinetic operators in string field theory describing the theory around the closed string vacuum. Those operators are based on the analytical classical solutions of Takahashi and Tanimoto and are analogous to the pure ghost action usually referred to as “vacuum string field theory,” but are much more general, and less singular than the pure ghost operator. The closed string v...
متن کاملEmbedding of the Bosonic String into the W 3 String
We investigate new realisations of the W 3 algebra with arbitrary central charge, making use of the fact that this algebra can be linearised by the inclusion of a spin-1 current. We use the new realisations with c = 102 and c = 100 to build non-critical and critical W 3 BRST operators. Both of these can be converted by local canonical transformations into a BRST operator for the Virasoro string...
