We use the boundary state formalism for the bosonic string to calculate the emission amplitude for closed string states from particular D-branes. We show that the amplitudes obtained are exactly the same as those obtained from the…

We investigate classical bosonic open-string field theory from the perspective of the Wilson renormalization group of world-sheet theory. The microscopic action is identified with Witten's covariant cubic action and the short-distance…

We reformulate bosonic boundary string field theory in terms of boundary state. In our formulation, we can formally perform the integration of target space equations of motion for arbitrary field configurations without assuming decoupling…

We address the conjecture that at the tachyonic vacuum open strings get transformed into closed strings. We show that it is possible in the context of boundary string field theory to interpolate between the conventional open string theory,…

In this thesis we review the fundamental framework of boundary string field theory (BSFT) and apply it to the tachyon condensation on non-BPS systems in the superstring theory. The boundary string field theory can be regarded as a natural…

Spacetime non-commutativity appears in string theory. In this paper, the non-commutativity in string theory is reviewed. At first we review that a Dp-brane is equivalent to a configuration of infinitely many D($p-2$)-branes. If we consider…

We consider computing the on-shell disk action of open-closed string field theory as a gauge-invariant way of capturing the shift in D-brane tension that is induced by a deformation of the bulk CFT. We study the effect of bulk matter…

We reproduce the correspondence between open string states |n> and BMN operators O_n in N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory using a worldsheet computation with the relation <B|n>=O_n, where <B| is a boundary state of D3-branes. We regard the NS…

We consider open strings ending on D-branes in the presence of constant metric, G, antisymmetric tensor, B and gauge field, A. The Hamiltonian is manifestly invariant under a global noncompact group; strikingly similar to toroidally…

The `winding state' behavior appears in the two-loop nonplanar contribution to the partition function in thermal noncommutative field theories. We derive this feature directly from the purely open string theory analysis in the presence of…

We study the physics of D-branes in the presence of constant Ramond-Ramond potentials. In the string field theory context, we first develop a general formalism to analyze open strings in gauge trivial closed string backgrounds, and then…

A recently proposed connection between closed string field and an open Wilson line defined on an arbitrary contour is further explored here. We suggest that reparametrization invariance of a Wilson line is the principle which determines the…

By integrating the Seiberg-Witten differential equation in a special path, we write ordinary gauge fields in terms of their non-commutative counterparts up to three non-commutative gauge fields. We then use this change of variables to write…

We examine the application of boundary states in computing amplitudes in off-shell open string theory. We find a straightforward generalization of boundary state which produces the correct matrix elements with on-shell closed string states.

Brane-like states are defined by physical vertex operators in NSR superstring theory, existing at nonzero pictures only. These states exist both in open and closed string theories, in the NS and NS-NS sectors respectively. In this paper we…

Interaction of branes in presence of internal gauge fields is considered by using the boundary state formalism. This approach enables us to consider the problems that are not easily accessible to the canonical approach via open strings. The…

In this article, applying different types of boundary conditions; Dirichlet, Neumann, or Mixed, on open strings we realize various new brane bound states in string theory. Calculating their interactions with other D-branes, we find their…

For the closed superstring, spin fields and bi-spinor states are defined directly in four spacetime dimensions. Explicit operator product expansions are given, including those for the internal superconformal field theory, which are…

We present a new open superstring field theory, whose string fields carry an arbitrary picture number and reside in the large Hilbert space. The redundancy related to picture number is resolved by treating picture changing as a gauge…

We analyze certain brane bound states in M-theory and their descendants in type IIA string theory, all involving 3-form or 2-form background fluxes. Among them are configurations which represent NCYM, NCOS and ODp-theories in the scaling…
