We find nonlocal particle theories with two dimensional conformal symmetry, including examples equivalent to the bosonic open string and closed string. This work provides a new approach to construct solvable consistent backgrounds in string…
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.
The Ising model is well-known for illustrating the fundamental characteristics of phase transitions in closed systems. In this article, we propose a generalization of the two-dimensional Ising model to open systems, considering the…
The Matrix String Theory, i.e. the two dimensional U(N) SYM with N=(8,8) supersymmetry, has classical BPS solutions that interpolate between an initial and a final string configuration via a bordered Riemann surface. The Matrix String…
We consider two Dirichlet p-branes with lower dimensional brane charges and their scattering. We first calculate the cylinder amplitude of open string with suitable boundary conditions. We compare this result with that in the IIB matrix…
We introduce a multi-species generalization of the symmetric simple exclusion process with open boundaries. This model possesses the property of being integrable and appears as physically relevant because the boundary conditions can be…
We formulate and solve a class of two-dimensional matrix gauge models describing ensembles of non-folding surfaces covering an oriented, discretized, two-dimensional manifold. We interpret the models as string theories characterized by a…
We will show how the study of randomly triangulated surfaces merges with the study of open/closed string dualities. In particular we will discuss the Conformal Field Theory which arises in the open string sector and its implications.
We study integrals of motion and factorizable S-matrices in two-dimensional integrable field theory with boundary. We propose the ``boundary cross-unitarity equation'' which is the boundary analog of the cross-symmetry condition of the…
Using the topological membrane approach to string theory, we suggest a geometric origin for the heterotic string. We show how different membrane boundary conditions lead to different string theories. We discuss the construction of closed…
We examine the algebraic structure of the matrix regularization for the wrapped membrane on $R^{10}\times S^1$ in the light-cone gauge. We give a concrete representation for the algebra and obtain the matrix string theory having the…
We investigate the interactions of closed strings in IIB matrix model. The basic interaction of the closed superstring is realized by the recombination of two intersecting strings. Such interaction is investigated in IIB matrix model via…
Using the recent proposal for the observables in open string field theory, we explicitly compute the coupling of closed string tachyon and massless states with the open string states up to level two. Using these couplings, we then calculate…
We summarize exact solutions of closed superstrings in a constant magnetic field, from a view point of the regularization criterion. Some models will be excluded according to this criterion. The spectrum-generating algebra is also…
In this paper we study the superstring version of the exactly solvable string model constructed by Russo and Tseytlin. This model represents superstring theory in a curved spacetime and can be seen as a generalization of the Melvin…
We study the boundary S-matrix for the reflection of bound states of the two-dimensional sine-Gordon integrable field theory in the presence of a boundary.
The central theme of this thesis is noncommutativity in string theory. We explore in detail how noncommutative structures can emerge in case of the interacting bosonic string and even in the fermionic sector of superstring theory. We have…
We study a class of multi-species ASEP with open boundaries. The boundaries are chosen in such a way that all species of particles interact non-trivially with the boundaries and are present in the stationary state. We give the exact…
In a previous paper (hep-th/0509067) using matrix model, we showed that closed string tachyons can resolve spacelike singularity in one particular class of Misner space (with anti-periodic boundary conditions for fermions around the spatial…
We study disk amplitudes whose boundary conditions on matter configurations are not restricted to homogeneous ones. They are examined in the two-matrix model as well as in the three-matrix model for the case of the tricritical Ising model.…
