On the exact open-closed vertex in plane-wave light-cone string field theory
نویسنده
چکیده
The open-closed vertex in the maximally supersymmetric type IIB plane-wave light-cone string field theory is considered and an explicit solution for the bosonic part of the vertex is derived, valid for all values of the mass parameter, μ. This vertex is of relevance to IIB plane-wave orientifolds, as well as IIB plane-wave strings in the presence of D-branes and their gauge theory duals. Methods of complex analysis are used to develop a systematic procedure for obtaining the solution. This procedure is first applied to the vertex in flat space and then extended to the plane-wave case. The plane-wave solution for the vertex requires introducing certain “μ-deformed Gamma functions”, which are generalizations of the ordinary Gamma function. The behaviour of the Neumann matrices is graphically illustrated and their large-μ asymptotics are analysed. 11/2003 Email: J.Lucietti, S.Schafer-Nameki, [email protected]

An alternative formulation of light-cone string field theory on the plane wave
We construct a manifestly SO(4) × SO(4) invariant, supersymmetric extension of the closed string cubic interaction vertex and dynamical supercharges in light-cone string field theory on the plane wave space-time. We find that the effective vertex for states built out of bosonic creation oscillators coincides with the one previously constructed in the SO(8) formalism and conjecture that in gener...
متن کاملOpen String Plane-Wave Light-Cone Superstring Field Theory
We construct the cubic interaction vertex and dynamically generated supercharges in lightcone superstring field theory for a large class half-supersymmetric D-branes in the planewave background. We show that these satisfy the plane-wave superalgebra at first order in string coupling. The cubic interaction vertex and dynamical supercharges presented here are given explicitly in terms of oscilato...

متن کاملA note on the uniqueness of the Neumann matrices in the plane-wave background
In this note, we prove the uniqueness of the Neumann matrices of the open-closed vertex in planewave light-cone string-field theory, first derived in [1]. We also prove the existence and uniqueness of the inverse of an infinite dimensional matrix necessary for the cubic vertex Neumann matrices, and give an explicit expression for it in terms of μ-deformed Gamma functions.
