We construct an iterative procedure to compute the vertex operators of the closed superstring in the covariant formalism given a solution of IIA/IIB supergravity. The manifest supersymmetry allows us to construct vertex operators for any…
The spectra of recently constructed auxiliary matrices for the six-vertex model respectively the spin s=1/2 Heisenberg chain at roots of unity q^N=1 are investigated. Two conjectures are formulated both of which are proven for N=3 and are…
We study cocycle properties of vertex operators and present an operator representation of cocycle operators, which are attached to vertex operators to ensure the duality of amplitudes. It is shown that this analysis makes it possible to…
In this work we give an explicit construction for the vertex operators of massless states in the pure spinor superstring in a plane wave background. The construction is based on the observation that the full action can be divided in two…
Using the pure spinor formalism for the superstring, the vertex operator for the first massive states of the open superstring is constructed in a manifestly super-Poincar\'e covariant manner. This vertex operator describes a massive…
We study the spectrum of random operators on a large class of trees. These trees have finitely many cone types and they can be constructed by a substitution rule. The random operators are perturbations of Laplace type operators either by…
The study of string models including both unoriented closed strings and open strings presents a number of new features when compared to the standard case of models of oriented closed strings only. We review some basic features of the…
We establish a spectral characterization theorem for the operators on complex Hilbert spaces of arbitrary dimensions that attain their norm on every closed subspace. The class of these operators is not closed under addition. Nevertheless,…
An absolute continuity approach to quasinormality which relates the operator in question to the spectral measure of its modulus is developed. Algebraic characterizations of some classes of operators that emerged in this context are…
We present a complete list of the dimension 8 operator basis in the standard model effective field theory using group theoretic techniques in a systematic and automated way. We adopt a new form of operators in terms of the irreducible…
We construct analytic solutions of open bosonic string field theory for any exactly marginal deformation in any boundary conformal field theory when properly renormalized operator products of the marginal operator are given. We explicitly…
We give the general form of the vertex corresponding to the interaction of an arbitrary number of strings. The technique employed relies on the ``comma" representation of String Field Theory where string fields and interactions are…
The possible tensor constructions of open string theories are analyzed from first principles. To this end the algebraic framework of open string field theory is clarified, including the role of the homotopy associative A_\infty algebra, the…
We review an algebraic method for constructing degenerate eigenvectors of the transfer matrix of the eight-vertex Cyclic Solid-on-Solid lattice model (8V CSOS model), where the degeneracy increases exponentially with respect to the system…
We study the relation between vertex operators in AdS_5 x S^5 and classical spinning string solutions. In the limit of large quantum numbers the treatment of vertex operators becomes semiclassical. In this regime, a given vertex operator…
An affine vertex operator construction at arbitrary level is presented which is based on a completely compactified chiral bosonic string whose momentum lattice is taken to be the (Minkowskian) affine weight lattice. This construction is…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition on a positive compact operator $T$ for the existence of a singular trace (i.e. a trace vanishing on the finite rank operators) which takes a finite non-zero value on $T$. This generalizes…
The descent relations between string field theory (SFT) vertices are characteristic relations of the operator formulation of SFT and they provide self-consistency of this theory. The descent relations <V_2|V_1> and <V_3|V_1> in the NS…
The spectra of previously constructed auxiliary matrices for the six-vertex model at roots of unity are investigated for spin-chains of even and odd length. The two cases show remarkable differences. In particular, it is shown that for even…
We construct the integrated vertex operator for the first massive states of open superstrings with $(mass)^2=1/\alpha'$ in the pure spinor formalism of the superstring theory. This vertex operator is expressed in terms of the ten…
