abstract

A framework for background independent open-string field theory is proposed. The approach involves using the BV formalism -- in a way suggested by recent developments in closed-string field theory -- to implicitly define a gauge invariant Lagrangian in a hypothetical ``space of all open-string world-sheet theories.'' It is built into the formalism that classical solutions of the string field theory are BRST invariant open-string world-sheet theories and that, when expanding around a classical solution, the infinitesimal gauge transformations are generated by the world-sheet BRST operator.

    Authors embed Yang-Mills BV-multiplet into N=2 spinning worldline path integral, pull back to supermoduli space integral form, and recover the Yang-Mills action upon projection to Fock space.
