We introduce classical and quantum antifields in the reparametrization-invariant effective action, and derive a deformed classical master equation.
We revisit the effective field theory of long relativistic strings such as confining flux tubes in QCD. We derive the Polchinski-Strominger interaction by a calculation in static gauge. This interaction implies that a non-critical string…
The ten dimensional heterotic string effective action with graviton, dilaton and antisymmetric tensor fields is dimensionally reduced to two spacetime dimensions. The resulting theory, with some constraints on backgrounds, admits infinite…
The properties of strongly gravitating systems suggest that field theory overcounts the states of a system. Reducing the number of degrees of freedom, without abandoning the notion of effective field theory, may be achieved through a…
The string effective action at tree level contains, in its bosonic sector, the Einstein-Hilbert term, the dilaton, and the axion, besides scalar and gauge fields coming from the Ramond-Ramond sector. The reduction to four dimensions brings…
The possibility of obtaining singularity free cosmological solutions in four dimensional effective actions motivated by string theory is investigated. In these effective actions, in addition to the Einstein-Hilbert term, the dilatonic and…
Some new expressions are found, concerning the effective action as a regularized path-integral for Dirac's spinors in {\it 3+1} dimensions, in the presence of general uniform (i.e., constant and homogeneous) electric and magnetic fields.…
We discuss charged string solutions of the effective equations of D=4 heterotic string theory with non-constant dilaton and modulus fields. The effective action contains a generic moduli-dependent coupling function in the gauge field…
It is shown that the axion concentrated in electroweak strings which are consequently stabilized may produce a rotation of the polarization angle of radiation from extragalactic sources larger than that caused by a background field, and…
We apply the long-wavelength approximation to the low energy effective string action in the context of Hamilton-Jacobi theory. The Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the effective string action is explicitly invariant under scale factor duality.…
The QCD hadronic string is supplemented with the reparameterization-invariant boundary interaction to background chiral fields associated with pions in a way compatible with the conformal symmetry. It allows the full reconstruction of the…
Some results are presented concerning duality invariant effective string actions and the construction of automorphic functions for general (2,2) string compactifications. These considerations are applied in order to discuss the {\it…
Using an ``action at a distance'' formulation we probe the possible classical interactions for tensionless strings, (the $T\to 0$ limit of the ordinary bosonic string.) We find $G_{\mu\nu}$ and $B_{\mu\nu}$ type interactions but no dilaton…
We extend the construction of the Symanzik effective action to include rooted staggered fermions, starting from a generalization of the renormalization-group approach to rooted staggered fermions. The Symanzik action, together with the…
A new model for hadronic string reinteractions based on a generalised area law is presented. The model describes both the hadronic final states in $e^+e^-$ annihilation and the diffractive structure function in deep inelastic scattering.…
We consider the infrared and ultraviolet behaviour of the effective quantum field theory of a single $Z_2$ symmetric scalar field. In a previous paper we proved to all orders in perturbation theory the renormalizability of massive effective…
We develop the idea that renormalization, decoupling of heavy particle effects from low energy physics and the construction of effective field theories are intimately linked to the momentum space entanglement of disparate modes of an…
The corrections to the tree-level effective action for the bosonic string up to second order in $\alpha'$ are fixed by requiring its dimensional reduction to $26-d$ dimensions to be compatible with $O(d,d)$ symmetry. The result is in…
We show that vanishing of the sigma-model beta-functions for the metric $g_{\mu\nu}$, antisymmetric tensor $B_{\mu\nu}$ and dilaton $\Phi$ of any string-theory model in $D$ dimensions at tree level can be obtained from a universal effective…
Global symmetries of the string effective action are employed to generate tilted, homogeneous Bianchi type VI_h string cosmologies from a previously known stiff perfect fluid solution to Einstein gravity. The dilaton field is not constant…
