A Matrix model from string field theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-09-20 v2

Abstract

We demonstrate that a Hermitian matrix model can be derived from level truncated open string field theory with Chan-Paton factors. The Hermitian matrix is coupled with a scalar and a U(N)U(N) vector which are responsible for the D-brane at the tachyon vacuum. Effective potential for the scalar is evaluated both in finite and large NN. Increase of potential height is observed in both examples. The large NN matrix integral is identified with a system of NN ZZ branes and a ghost FZZT brane.
