We construct a time-dependent solution in vacuum string field theory and investigate whether the solution can be regarded as a rolling tachyon solution. First, compactifying one space direction on a circle of radius R, we construct a…
We extend the analysis of hep-th/0409063 to the case of a constant electric field turned on the worldvolume and on a transverse direction of a D-brane. We show that time localization is still obtained by inverting the discrete eigenvalues…
We prove some algebraic relations on the translationally invariant solutions and the lump solutions in vacuum string field theory. We show that up to the subtlety at the midpoint the definition of the half-string projectors of the known…
We present a new analytic time dependent solution of cubic string field theory at the lowest order in the level truncation scheme. The tachyon profile we have found is a bounce in time, a $C^{\infty}$ function which represents an almost…
Motivated by the quantization of linearized gravity, we consider gauge-fixed linearized Einstein equations and their Wick rotation near a Cauchy surface. We show that Calder\'on projectors for the Wick-rotated equations induce Hadamard…
We construct exact classical solutions in cubic open string field theory. By the redefinition of the string field, we find that the solutions correspond to finite deformations of the Wilson lines. The solutions have well-defined Fock space…
We construct a new class of exact and stable superstring solutions based on $N=4$ superconformal world-sheet symmetry. In a subclass of these, the full spectrum of string excitations is derived in a modular-invariant way. In the weak…

The concept of Euclidean time is proposed which is dual to the usual Minkowski time. The De Sitter solution is shown to be dual to the anti-De Sitter solution under the dual transformation in which Euclidean time and Minkowski time are…
We discuss a general iterative procedure for constructing time dependent solutions in open string theory describing rolling of a generic tachyon field away from its maximum. These solutions are characterized by two parameters labelling the…
In this paper, we address for the 2D Euler equations the existence of rigid time periodic solutions close to stationary radial vortices of type $f_0(|x|){\bf 1}_{\mathbb{D}}(x)$, with $\mathbb{D}$ the unit disc and $f_0$ being a strictly…
In this paper we study a solution of heterotic string theory corresponding to a rotating Kerr-Taub-NUT spacetime. It has an exact CFT description as a heterotic coset model, and a Lagrangian formulation as a gauged WZNW model. It is a…
We consider the response of a finite string to white noise and obtain the exact time-dependent spectrum. The complete exact solution is obtained, that is, both the transient and steady-state solution. To define the time-varying spectrum we…
We investigate the SL(2,R)/U(1) WZW model with level 0<k<2 as a solvable time-dependent background in string theory. This model is expected to be dual to the one describing a rolling closed string tachyon with a time-like linear dilaton. We…
We study lump solutions in nonlocal toy models and their cosmological applications. These models are motivated by a description of D-brane decay within string field theory framework. In order to find cosmological solutions we use the…
We solve the Cauchy problem of the Ward model in light-cone coordinates using the inverse spectral (scattering) method. In particular we show that the solution can be constructed by solving a $2\times 2$ local matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem…
We discuss classical closed string solutions in non-relativistic two-sphere target spaces. These classes of solutions closely relate to the GKP-type, spinning and pulsating strings for the relativistic case. We derive the string dynamics in…
We study periodic orbits in a time-dependent two-center Stark-Zeeman system, which models the motion of a charged particle attracted by two fixed Coulomb centers and subject to external magnetic and time-dependent electric fields. A…
We consider a new 3-parameter class of exact 4-dimensional solutions in closed string theory and solve the corresponding string model, determining the physical spectrum and the partition function. The background fields (4-metric,…
