We construct Dp-branes in bosonic string theory as unstable lumps in a truncated string field theory of open strings on a D25-brane. We find that the lowest level truncation gives good quantitative agreement with the predicted D-brane…

We describe numerical methods for constructing lump solutions in open string field theory. According to Sen, these lumps represent lower dimensional Dp-Branes and numerical evaluation of their energy can be compared with the expected value…
It has been conjectured that the tachyonic lump solution of the open bosonic string field theory describing a D-brane represents a D-brane of one lower dimension. We place the lump on a circle of finite radius and develop a variant of the…
We study some properties of the tachyonic lumps in the level truncation scheme of bosonic cubic string field theory. We find that several gauges work well and that the size of the lump as well as its tension is approximately independent of…
We construct tachyon lump solutions of bosonic D2-branes on SU(2) group manifolds by level truncation approximation in cubic string field theory, which are regarded as D0-branes. The energies for these solutions show good agreement with the…

We construct BRST invariant solitonic states in the OSp invariant string field theory for closed bosonic strings. Our construction is a generalization of the one given in the noncritical case. These states are made by using the boundary…
In this article we consider open strings with mixed boundary conditions (a combination of Neumann and Dirichlet conditions at each end). We discuss how their end points show a $D_p$-brane with NS-NS charge, i.e. a bound state of a D-brane…
At first, we derive a boundary state, associated with a moving D$p$-brane, in the presence of the Kalb-Ramond field and a $U(1)$ gauge potential. Then, from the interaction of such D$p$-branes, we obtain the radiation amplitude for a…
We construct solitonic states in the OSp invariant string field theory, which are BRST invariant in the leading order of regularization parameter. One can show that these solitonic states describe D-branes and ghost D-branes, by calculating…
