String geometry theory is a candidate of the non-perturbative formulation of string theory. In order to determine the string vacuum, we need to clarify how string backgrounds are described in string geometry theory. In this paper, we show…
Witten's cubic open string field theory is expanded around the perturbatively stable vacuum, including all scalar fields at levels 0, 2, 4 and 6. The (approximate) BRST cohomology of the theory is computed, giving strong evidence for the…

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 analyze the realm of validity of the recently found tachyon solution of cubic string field theory. We find that the equation of motion holds in a non trivial way when this solution is contracted with itself. This calculation is needed to…
In this paper we calculate the spectrum of Neumann matrix with zero modes in the presence of the constant B field in Witten's cubic string field theory. We find both the continuous spectrum inside $[{-1\over3}, 0)$ and the constraint on the…
We put forward ideas to a novel string field theory based on making some "objects" that essentially describe "liberated" left- and right- mover fields $X^{\mu}_{L}(\tau + \sigma)$ and $X^{\mu}_{R}(\tau - \sigma)$ on the string. The main…
