It is known that the Takahashi--Tanimoto identity-based solution in open string field theory derives a kinetic operator which is a sum of twisted Virasoro generators. Applying the infinite circumstance description of conformal field theory,…
We construct BRST operators for certain higher-spin extensions of the Virasoro algebra, in which there is a spin-$s$ gauge field on the world sheet, as well as the spin-2 gauge field corrresponding to the two-dimensional metric. We use…
We introduce a novel representation of Virasoro algebra in open string field theory. Elements of the algebra are vector fields on the $K$-space, where $K$ is the string field that generates a world sheet strip in sliver frame. The…
We give a straightforward derivation of the string equation and Virasoro constraints on the $\tau$ function of the BKP hierarchy by means of some special additional symmetry flows. The explicit forms of the actions of these additional…
Motivated by construction of isospin generators in particle physics (built form the SU(2) algebra), we find an equivalence between the algebra of these generators and those of the Virasoro algebra. The form of the starting generators is…
We give the explicit form of the half-string representation in the continuous kappa basis. We show the comma structure of the three-vertex, when expanded around an arbitrary projector, and that the zero-mode must be replaced by the…
We provide a concise description of our recent work on the exact conformal field theory (CFT) formulation of the superstring in the pp-wave background with Ramond-Ramond (RR) flux, using the Green-Schwarz formalism in the semi-light-cone…
It is shown that a particular $q$-deformation of the Virasoro algebra can be interpreted in terms of the $q$-local field $\Phi (x)$ and the Schwinger-like point-splitted Virasoro currents, quadratic in $\Phi (x)$. The $q$-deformed Virasoro…
Following Schnabl's analytic solution to string field theory, we calculate the operators ${\cal L}_0,{\cal L}_0^\dagger$ for a scalar field in the continuous $\kappa$ basis. We find an explicit and simple expression for them that further…
We give a gauge and manifestly SO(2,2) covariant formulation of the field theory of the self-dual string. The string fields are gauge connections that turn the super-Virasoro generators into covariant derivatives.
Chiral edges of 2+1D systems can have very robust emergent conformal symmetry. When the edge is purely chiral, the Hilbert space of low-energy edge excitations can form a representation of a single Virasoro algebra. We propose a method to…
We consider, in a string theory framework, physical processes of phenomenological interest in models with a low string scale. The amplitudes we study involve tree-level virtual gravitational exchange, divergent in a field-theoretical…
The model of two dimensional quantum gravity defining the "Virasoro Minimal String", presented recently by Collier, Eberhardt, M\"{u}hlmann, and Rodriguez, was also shown to be perturbatively (in topology) equivalent to a random matrix…
The operator formalism of the first quantized string theory is applied to the stringy excitations in the linear dilaton background. In particular, the normal-ordered vertex operators in the old-covariant spectrum of the bosonic open string,…
A string field theory of (p,q) minimal superstrings is constructed with the free-fermion realization of 2-component KP (2cKP) hierarchy, starting from 2-cut ansatz of two-matrix models. Differential operators of 2cKP hierarchy are…
Quark-gluon string fragmentation is usually seen as a universal process with its physics remaining unchanged for different colliding systems and center-of-mass energy. However, there is a way to go beyond this assumption by considering the…
We consider sl(2) minimal conformal field theories and the dual parafermion models. Guided by results for the critical A_L Restricted Solid-on-Solid (RSOS) models and its Virasoro modules expressed in terms of paths, we propose a general…
We establish the connection between the generating functional for the first-class theories and the generating functional for the second-class theories using the finite field dependent BRST (FFBRST) transformation. We show this connection…
We describe an analytic procedure whereby scattering amplitudes are bootstrapped directly from an input mass spectrum and a handful of physical constraints: crossing symmetry, boundedness at high energies, and finiteness of exchanged spins.…
Based on the Lax operator $L$ and Orlov-Shulman's $M$ operator, the string equations of the $q$-KP hierarchy are established from special additional symmetry flows, and the negative Virasoro constraint generators \{$L_{-n}, n\geq1$\} of the…
