The string field theory for unoriented open-closed string mixed system is constructed up to quadratic order based on the joining-splitting type vertices. The gauge invariance with closed string transformation parameter is proved. The…
In this article I first give an abbreviated history of string theory and then describe the recently-conjectured field-string duality. This suggests a class of nonsupersymmetric gauge theories which are conformal (CGT) to leading order of…
We investigate the high energy behavior of the correlation functions of the open Wilson lines in noncommutative gauge theory. We obtain a very simple physical picture that they are bound to form a group of closed Wilson loops. We prove our…
Non-commutative gauge theories with a non-constant NC-parameter are investigated. As a novel approach, we propose that such theories should admit an underlying L$_\infty$ algebra, that governs not only the action of the symmetries but also…
We develop a method to compute the one-loop effective action of noncommutative U(1) gauge theory based on the bosonic worldline formalism, and derive compact expressions for N-point 1PI amplitudes. The method, resembling perturbative string…
It has been shown that a procedure analogous to orbifolding in string theory, when applied to certain large N field theories, leaves correlators invariant perturbatively. We test nonperturbative agreement of some aspects of the orbifolded…
The multiloop amplitudes for open bosonic string in presence of a constant B-field are derived from first principles. The basic ingredients of the construction are the commutation relations for the string modes and the Reggeon vertex…
Noncommutative gauge theories can be constructed from ordinary $U(\infty)$ gauge theories in lower dimensions. Using this construction we identify the operators on noncommutative D-branes which couple to linearized supergravity backgrounds,…
We study gauge invariant operators of open string field theory and find a precise correspondence with on-shell closed strings. We provide a detailed proof of the gauge invariance of the operators and a heuristic interpretation of their…
In string theory, there are no continuous global symmetries. Discrete symmetries frequently appear, and these can often be understood as unbroken subgroups of larger, spontaneously broken gauge symmetries (discrete gauge symmetries). In…
Motivated by the recent construction of a translation-invariant renormalizable non-commutative model for a scalar field (see arXiv:0802.0791 [math-ph]), we introduce models for non-commutative U(1) gauge fields along the same lines. More…
A method of constructing a canonical gauge invariant quantum formulation for a non-gauge classical theory depending on a set of parameters is advanced and then applied to the theory of closed bosonic string interacting with massive…
We discuss recent progress in the understanding of the vacuum structure (effective superpotentials) of confining gauge theories with N=1 supersymmetry. Even for non-supersymmetric theories, appropriate perturbative calculations (e.g. using…
We construct a manifestly gauge invariant Lagrangian in 3+1 dimensions for N Kaluza-Klein modes of an SU(m) gauge theory in the bulk. For example, if the bulk is 4+1, the effective theory is \Pi_{i=1}^{N+1} SU(m)_i with N chiral (\bar{m},m)…
We extend an earlier proposal for a gauge invariant description of off-shell open strings (at tree level), using loop variables, to off-shell closed strings (at tree level). The basic idea is to describe the closed string amplitudes as a…
We argue that deriving an effective field theory from string theory requires a Wilsonian perspective with a physical cutoff. Employing proper time regularization we demonstrate the decoupling of states and contrast this with what happens in…
The divergence structure of non-commutative gauge field theories (NCGFT) with a Slavnov extension is examined at one-loop level with main focus on the gauge boson self-energy. Using an interpolating gauge we show that even with this…
We give a pedagogical account of noncommutative gauge and gravity theories, where the exterior product between forms is deformed into a $\star$-product via an abelian twist (e.g. the Groenewold-Moyal twist). The Seiberg-Witten map between…
Invariant (nonplanar) anomaly of noncommutative QED is reexamined. It is found that just as in ordinary gauge theory UV regularization is needed to discover anomalies, in noncommutative case, in addition, an IR regularization is also…
We study IR/UV mixing effects in noncommutative supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with gauge group U(N) using background field perturbation theory. We compute three- and four-point functions of background fields, and show that the IR/UV…
