A manifestly T-dual invariant formulation of bosonic string theory is discussed here. It can be obtained by making both the usual string compact coordinates and their duals explicitly appear, on the same footing, in the world-sheet action.…
First of all we shortly illustrate how the symplectic quantization scheme [Gradenigo and Livi, 2021] can be applied to a relativistic field theory with self-interaction. Taking inspiration from the stochastic quantization method by Parisi…
At the classical level we study open bosonic strings. A generic description of string self-interactions localized at string ends is given. Self-interactions are characterized by two dimensionless coupling constants. The model is rewritten…

A novel mechanism to produce a cosmic network of fundamental superstrings based on a time-varying string tension has been recently proposed. It has been found that fundamental superstrings can grow in a kinating background driven by the…
Minimal coupling leads to problems such as loss of causality if one wants to describe charged particles of spin greater than one propagating in a constant electromagnetic background. Regge trajectories in string theory contain such states,…

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…

Singular configuration of an external static magnetic field in the form of a string polarizes vacuum in the secondly quantized theory on a plane which is orthogonal to the string axis. We consider the most general boundary conditions at the…

Using a supersymmetry formalism, we reduce exactly the problem of electron motion in an external potential to a new supermatrix model valid at all distances. All approximate nonlinear sigma models obtained previously for disordered systems…
We use boundary string field theory to study open string tachyon condensation on a three-sphere closed string background. We consider the closed string background described by $SU(2)_k$ WZW model in the limit of large $k$. We compute the…
Two families of symplectic methods specially designed for second-order time-dependent linear systems are presented. Both are obtained from the Magnus expansion of the corresponding first-order equation, but otherwise they differ in…
The covariant canonical method of quantization based on the De Donder-Weyl covariant canonical formalism is used to formulate a world-sheet covariant quantization of bosonic strings. To provide the consistency with the standard…
In a recent paper, we studied the scalar fields of the five dimensional N=2 hypermultiplets using the method of symplectic covariance. For static spherically symmetric backgrounds, we showed that exactly two possibilities exist and detailed…
We discuss a renormalization procedure for a classical bosonic string coupled to a massless scalar field. The classical equations of motion for this system are non-renormalizable if the number of spacetime dimensions exceeds four. Our…
