Closed string field theory in a-gauge

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-05 v2

Abstract

We show that a-gauge, a class of covariant gauges developed for bosonic open string field theory, is consistently applied to the closed string field theory. A covariantly gauge-fixed action of massless fields can be systematically derived from a-gauge-fixed action of string field theory.
