Level truncation analysis of exact solutions in open string field theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-05-20 v2

Abstract

We evaluate vacuum energy density of Schnabl's solution using the level truncation calculation and the total action including interaction terms. The level truncated solution provides vacuum energy density expected both for tachyon vacuum and trivial pure gauge. We discuss the role of the phantom term to reproduce correct vacuum energy.
