We revisit the non-linear sigma model approach to string theory with the closed superstring field theory. We construct the string field theory around the non-linear sigma model background with the patch-by-patch description. We show that…
We investigate new compactifications of OM theory giving rise to a 3+1 dimensional open string theory with noncommutative $x^0$-$x^1$ and $x^2$-$x^3$ coordinates. The theory can be directly obtained by starting with a D3 brane with parallel…
Bosonic string theory with the possibility for an arbitrary number of strings - i.e. a string field theory - is formulated by a Hilbert space (a Fock space), which is just that for massless noninteracting scalars. We earlier presented this…
We construct the basic Neveu-Schwarz (NS) brane solutions of non-relativistic string theory using longitudinal T-duality as a solution generating technique. Extending the NS background fields to a supergravity multiplet, we verify that all…
The noncritical $4D$ $\cW_3$ string is a model of $\cW_3$ gravity coupled to two free scalar fields. In this paper we discuss its BRST quantization in direct analogy with that of the $2D$ (Virasoro) string. The physical operators form a…
We study the renormalization of non-commutative gauge theories with matter. As in the scalar field theory cases, there are logarithmic infrared divergences resulting from integrating out high momentum modes. In order to reproduce the…
We introduce a novel Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) formulation method for spanning tree problems. Instead of encoding the presence of edges in the tree individually, we opt to encode spanning trees as a permutation…
Based on the success of a well-known method for solving higher order linear differential equations, a study of two of the most important mathematical features of that method, viz. the null spaces and commutativity of the product of…
Various studies have attempted to extend the Witten's cubic open string field theory to the cubic closed string field theory, which may describe Einstein gravity in the low energy sector consistently. In the present study we propose a cubic…
We prove that the NS cubic superstring field theories are classically equivalent, regardless of the choice of Y_{-2} in their definition, and illustrate it by an explicit evaluation of the action of Erler's solution. We then turn to examine…
Solutions of the Vacuum String Field Theory (VSFT) equation of motion involving matter part are given by projectors, and they represent nonperturbative solutions (e.g. the sliver) interpreted as D25-branes (or lower dimensional branes), but…
We have focused on the topological structure of Cubic string field theory (CSFT). From the similarity of action between CSFT and Chern-Simons (CS) theory in three dimensions, we have investigated the quantity ${\cal N}=\pi^2/3\int…
We describe the family of normalizable solutions in linearized open string field theory, defined by $Q\Psi_0=0$ ($Q$ is BRST charge) understood in the sense $<<Q\Psi_0,\Phi>>=0$ for an arbitrary string field $\Phi$. The solutions depend on…
Noncommutativity in an open bosonic string moving in the presence of a background Neveu-Schwarz two-form field $B_{\mu \nu}$ is investigated in a conformal field theory approach, leading to noncommutativity at the boundaries. In contrast to…
We consider quadratic fluctuations around the tachyon vacuum numerically in open string field theory. We work on a space ${\cal H}_N^{{\rm vac}}$ spanned by basis string states used in the Schnabl's vacuum solution. We show that the…
There are several equivalent descriptions for constant B-field background of open string. The background can be interpreted as constant B-field as well as constant gauge field strength or infinitely many D-branes with non-commuting…
We consider the 1-loop effective potential in type I string theory compactified on a torus, with supersymmetry broken by the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism. At fixed supersymmetry breaking scale M, and up to exponentially suppressed terms, we…
We explore how the IR pathologies of noncommutative field theory are resolved when the theory is realized as open strings in background B-fields: essentially, since the IR singularities are induced by UV/IR mixing, string theory brings them…
