Gauge and General Coordinate Invariance in Non-Polynomial Closed String Field Theory

Debashis Ghoshal,Ashoke Sen

An appropriate field configuration in non-polynomial closed string field theory is shown to correspond to a general off-shell field configuration in low energy effective field theory. A set of string field theoretic symmetries that act on the fields in low energy effective field theory as general coordinate transformation and antisymmetric tensor gauge transformation is identified. The analysis is carried out to first order in the fields; thus the symmetry transformations in string field theory reproduce the linear and the first non-linear terms in the gauge transformations in the low energy effective field theory.

Background Independence of Closed Superstring Field Theory

Ashoke Sen

Given a family of world-sheet superconformal field theories related by marginal deformation, we can formulate superstring field theory based on any of these world-sheet theories. Background independence is the statement that these different superstring field theories are related to each other by field redefinition. We prove background independence of closed superstring field theory.

Classical Open String Amplitudes and Boundary String Field Theory

Christoph Chiaffrino,Ivo Sachs

Abstract: We show that boundary string field theory realizes the minimal model of open string field theory. More precisely, we observe that the expansion of the (co)homological vector field, $Q$ of boundary string field theory in the cohomology of its linear part reproduces the S-matrices of perturbative string theory. In mathematical terms, boundary string field theory realizes the minimal model map of the cohomological perturbation lemma.

Space-Time Noncommutative Field Theories And Unitarity

Jaume Gomis,Thomas Mehen

We study the perturbative unitarity of noncommutative scalar field theories. Field theories with space-time noncommutativity do not have a unitary S-matrix. Field theories with only space noncommutativity are perturbatively unitary. This can be understood from string theory, since space noncommutative field theories describe a low energy limit of string theory in a background magnetic field. On the other hand, there is no regime in which space-time noncommutative field theory is an appropriate description of string theory. Whenever space-time noncommutative field theory becomes relevant massive open string states cannot be neglected.

Class field theory for products of open curves over a local field

Toshiro Hiranouchi

We investigate the class field theory for products of open curves over a local field. In particular, we determine the kernel of the reciprocity homomorphism.
