D-brane and Gauge Invariance in Closed String Field Theory

Abstract

We construct a system of bosonic closed string field theory coupled to a D-brane. The interaction between the D-brane and closed string field is introduced using the boundary state which is a function of constant field strength FμνF_{\mu\nu} and the tilt θμi\theta_\mu^i of the D-brane. We find that the gauge invariance requirement on the system determines the (Fμν,θμi)(F_{\mu\nu},\theta_\mu^i)-dependence of the normalization factor of the boundary state as well as the form of the purely (Fμν,θμi)(F_{\mu\nu},\theta_\mu^i) term of the action. Correspondence between the action in the present formalism and the low energy effective action (bulk + D-brane actions) in the σ\sigma-model approach is studied.
