The twisted butterfly state solves the equation of motion of vacuum string field theory in the singular limit. The finiteness of the energy density of the solution is an important issue, but possible conformal anomaly resulting from the…

Following Okawa, we insert operators at the boundary of regulated star algebra projectors to construct the leading order tachyon vacuum solution of open string field theory. We also calculate the energy density of the solution and the ratio…

We show that vacuum string field theory with the singular kinetic operator conjectured by Gaiotto, Rastelli, Sen and Zwiebach can be obtained by field redefinition from a regular theory constructed by Takahashi and Tanimoto. We solve the…

We propose an analytic framework to study the nonperturbative solutions of Witten's open string field theory. The method is based on the Moyal star formulation where the kinetic term can be split into two parts. The first one describes the…

In Witten's open cubic bosonic string field theory and Berkovits' superstring field theory we investigate solutions of the equations of motion with appropriate source terms, which correspond to Callan-Maldacena solution in Born-Infeld…

Murata and Schnabl recently proposed solutions for the multiple-brane backgrounds in Witten's open bosonic string field theory. The solutions contain some singularities, and in one particular regularization, the double-brane solution…

We re-examine the recent proposal of Rastelli, Sen and Zwiebach on the tachyon fluctuation of the vacuum string field theory representing a D25 brane, originally considered by Hata and Kawano. We show that the tachyon state satisfies the…

We study Witten's cubic open string field theory on multiple $Dp$-branes. On multiple $Dp$-branes the string fields carry $U(N)$ group indices. Mapping the string world-sheet onto the upper half complex plane and evaluating the Polyakov…

We regulate Witten's open superstring field theory by replacing the picture-changing insertion at the midpoint with a contour integral of picture changing insertions over the half-string overlaps of the cubic vertex. The resulting product…

Schnabl recently constructed an analytic solution for tachyon condensation in Witten's open string field theory. The solution consists of two pieces. Only the first piece is involved in proving that the solution satisfies the equation of…

Following the method recently proposed by Erler and Maccaferri, we construct solutions to the equation of motion of Witten's cubic string field theory, which describe constant magnetic field background. We study the boundary condition…

The reparametrization symmetries of Witten's vertex in ordinary or vacuum string field theories can be used to extract useful information about classical solutions of the equations of motion corresponding to D-branes. It follows, that the…

We construct a classical solution of vacuum string field theory (VSFT) and study whether it represents the perturbative open string vacuum. Our solution is given as a squeezed state in the Siegel gauge, and it fixes the arbitrary…

Solutions of the Vacuum String Field Theory (VSFT) equation of motion involving matter part are given by projectors, and they represent nonperturbative solutions (e.g. the sliver) interpreted as D25-branes (or lower dimensional branes), but…

In this paper we continue our study f the exact solution in open bosonic string field theory. We present new solution in the string field theory defined on the background corresponding to the boundary conformal field theory describing…

We propose a new basis in Witten's open string field theory, in which the star product simplifies considerably. For a convenient choice of gauge the classical string field equation of motion yields straightforwardly an exact analytic…

We study tachyon condensation in a baby version of Witten's open string field theory. For some special values of one of the parameters of the model, we are able to obtain closed form expressions for the stable vacuum state and for the value…

In a previous paper [arXiv:1901.01681], we presented an analytic construction of multi-brane solutions in cubic open string field theory (CSFT) for any integer brane number. Our $(N+1)$-brane solution is given in the pure-gauge form $\Psi=U…

We analyze boundary states in the SU(2)$_k$ WZW model using open string field theory in the level truncation approximation. We develop algorithms that allow effective calculation of action in this model and we search for classical solutions…

A recent paper by Gross and Erler (hep-th/0406199) showed that by making a certain well-defined, unitary transformation on the mode basis for the open bosonic string--one that identifies the lightcone component of position with the string…
