Some Computations in Background Independent Open-String Field Theory | | Edward Witten
; | | Date: |
12 Oct 1992 | | Journal: | Phys.Rev. D47 (1993) 3405-3410 | | Subject: | hep-th | | Abstract: | Recently, background independent open-string field theory has been formally defined in the space of all two-dimensional world-sheet theories. In this paper, to make the construction more concrete, I compute the action for an off-shell tachyon field of a certain simple type. From the computation it emerges that, although the string field action does not coincide with the world-sheet (matter) partition function in general, these functions do coincide on shell. This can be demonstrated in general, as long as matter and ghosts are decoupled. | | Source: | arXiv, hep-th/9210065 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
