Multibranes boundary states with open string interactions

Abstract

We derive boundary states which describe configurations of multiple parallel branes with arbitrary open string states interactions in bosonic string theory. This is obtained by a careful discussion of the factorization of open/closed string states amplitudes taking care of cycles needed by ensuring vertexes commutativity: in particular the discussion reveals that already at the tree level open string knows of the existence of closed string. We also give a formal expression for computing pure closed string amplitudes using the open string formalism.
