Reexamining Classical Solution and Tachyon Mode in Vacuum String Field Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We reexamine the oscillator construction of the D25-brane solution and the tachyon fluctuation mode of vacuum string field theory given previously. Both the classical solution and the tachyon mode are found to violate infinitesimally their determining equations in the level cut-off regularization. We study the effects of these violations on physical quantities such as the tachyon mass and the ratio of the energy density of the solution relative to the D25-brane tension. We discuss a possible way to resolve the problem of reproducing the expected value of one for the ratio. [email protected] [email protected]

Observables as Twist Anomaly in Vacuum String Field Theory
We reveal a novel mathematical structure in physical observables, the mass of tachyon fluctuation mode and the energy density, associated with a classical solution of vacuum string field theory constructed previously [hep-th/0108150]. We find that they are expressed in terms of quantities which apparently vanish identically due to twist even-odd degeneracy of eigenvalues of a Neumann coefficien...
متن کاملOpen String States around a Classical Solution in Vacuum String Field Theory
We construct a classical solution of vacuum string field theory (VSFT) and study whether it represents the perturbative open string vacuum. Our solution is given as a squeezed state in the Siegel gauge, and it fixes the arbitrary coefficients in the BRST operator in VSFT. We identify the tachyon and massless vector states as fluctuation modes around the classical solution. The tachyon mass squa...
متن کاملBV analysis of tachyon fluctuation around multi-brane solutions in cubic string field theory
We study whether the tachyon mode exists as a physical fluctuation on the 2-brane solution and on the tachyon vacuum solution in cubic open string field theory. Our analysis is based on the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism. We first construct a set of six string states which corresponds to the set of fields and anti-fields containing the tachyon field. Whether the tachyon field can exist as a physi...
متن کاملMarginally Deformed Rolling Tachyon around the Tachyon Vacuum in Open String Field Theory
We investigate the string field theory around the tachyon vacuum. By using the vanishing cohomology we prove that all perturbative solutions are pure gauge forms up to gauge transformations at the tachyon vacuum. For a special choice of gauge function, marginal deformation from the tachyon vacuum is allowed due to nontrivial roles of Schnabl’s analytic vacuum solution. We construct an exact rol...
متن کاملClassical Solutions and Order of Zeros in Open String Field Theory
Earlier an analytic approach is proposed for classical solutions describing tachyon vacuum in open string field theory. Based on the approach, we construct a certain class of classical solutions written in terms of holomorphic functions with higher order zeros. Taking the simplest among the new classical solutions, we study the cohomology of the new BRS charge and make a numerical analysis of t...
