A volume form $H$ on the $n$--dimensional sphere $S^n$ is closed $(dH=0)$, so that it is locally written as $H=dB$, where B is a $(n-1)$--form. In the first half we give an explicit form to B and, moreover, a speculation concerning higher…

We discuss that Schnabl's solution is an off-shell extension of the boundary state describing a D-brane in the closed string sector. It gives the physical meaning of the gauge invariant overlaps for the solution in our previous paper and…

The open-closed vertex in the maximally supersymmetric type IIB plane-wave light-cone string field theory is considered and an explicit solution for the bosonic part of the vertex is derived, valid for all values of the mass parameter, \mu.…

There are two important examples of physical systems which violate the strong energy condition : Universes (like, it would seem, our own) with a positive cosmological constant, and wormholes. We suggest that a positive cosmological constant…

We propose a (generalized) ``mass formula'' for a fundamental string described as a BPS solution of a D-brane's worldvolume. The mass formula is obtained by using the Hamiltonian density on the worldvolume, based on transformation…

Motivated by the similarity between cubic string field theory (CSFT) and the Chern-Simons theory in three dimensions, we study the possibility of interpreting N=(\pi^2/3)\int(U Q_B U^{-1})^3 as a kind of winding number in CSFT taking…

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…

We demonstrate that the very extended G+++ group element of the form $g_A=\exp(-{\frac{1}{(\beta,\beta)}\ln N}\beta \cdot H)\exp((1-N)E_\beta)$ describes the usual BPS, electric, single brane solutions found in G+++ theories.
