Using the construction of D-branes with nonzero $B$ field in the matrix model we give a physical interpretation of the known background independence in gauge theories on a noncommutative space. The background independent variables are…
We study classical dynamics of an open string tachyon $T$ of unstable D$p$-brane coupled to the gauge field $A_\mu$. In the vacuum with vanishing potential, V=0, two fluid-like degrees of freedom, string fluid and tachyon matter, survive…
We study soliton solutions in supersymmetric scalar field theory with a class of potentials. We study both bosonic and fermionic zero-modes around the soliton solution. We study two possible couplings of gauge fields to these models. While…
We consider the type 0 theories, obtained from the closed NSR string by a diagonal GSO projection which excludes space-time fermions, and study the D-branes into these theories. The low-energy dynamics of N coincident D-branes is governed…
We study n-point boundary correlation functions in Timelike Boundary Liouville theory, relevant for open string multiproduction by a decaying unstable D-brane. We give an exact result for the one-point function of the tachyon vertex…
We consider string theory in maximally supersymmetric type IIB plane wave background with constant five form Ramond-Ramond flux (RR plane wave). It is argued that there exists a universal sector of string configurations independent of the…
We study the condensation of closed string tachyons as a time-dependent process. In particular, we study tachyons whose wave functions are either space-filling or localized in a compact space, and whose masses are small in string units; our…
The level truncation approach to string field theory is used to study the zero-momentum action for vector excitations on a bosonic D-brane which has been annihilated by tachyon condensation. It is shown that in the true vacuum the…
In this article I attempt to collect some ideas,opinions and formulae which may be useful in solving the problem of gauge/ string / space-time correspondence This includes the validity of D-brane representation, counting of gauge-invariant…
The boundary state associated with the rolling tachyon solution on an unstable D-brane contains a part that decays exponentially in the asymptotic past and the asymptotic future, but it also contains other parts which either remain constant…
We investigate three-form gauge theories with higher derivative interactions and their supersymmetric extensions in four space-time dimensions. For the bosonic three-form gauge theories, we show that derivatives on the field strength of the…
We investigate a string theoretic cosmological model in the context of the gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model. Our model is based on a product of non-compact coset space and a spectator flat space; $[SL(2,R)/U(1)]_k \times {\bf R}^2$. We…
We consider tachyonic string-field fluctuations about a Dp-brane background in the geometrical (CFT) formulation of Vacuum String Field Theory. We then extend this analysis to the case of a background B-field. We find that the standard…
We study Born-Infeld type effective action for unstable D3-brane system including a tachyon and an Abelian gauge field, and find the rolling tachyon with constant electric and magnetic fields as the most general homogeneous solution.…
In this lecture notes we explain and discuss some ideas concerning noncommutative geometry in general, as well as noncommutative field theories and string field theories. We consider noncommutative quantum field theories emphasizing an…
A class of non-supersymmetric string backgrounds can be constructed using twists that involve space-time fermion parity. We propose a non-perturbative definition of string theory in these backgrounds via gauge theories with supersymmetry…
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…
Both in string field theory and in p-adic string theory the equations of motion involve infinite number of time derivatives. We argue that the initial value problem is qualitatively different from that obtained in the limit of many time…
Recent work on closed string tachyon condensation suggests the existence of a `nothing state' where closed strings and space itself vanish. We consider the evolution of D-branes in such backgrounds, focusing on the early stages of the…
This is a brief review of vacuum string field theory, a new approach to open string field theory based on the stable vacuum of the tachyon. We discuss the sliver state explaining its role as a projector in the space of half-string…
