abstract

Recently, background independent open-string field theory has been formally defined in the space of all two-dimensional world-sheet theories. In this paper, to make the construction more concrete, I compute the action for an off-shell tachyon field of a certain simple type. From the computation it emerges that, although the string field action does not coincide with the world-sheet (matter) partition function in general, these functions do coincide on shell. This can be demonstrated in general, as long as matter and ghosts are decoupled.

Integrable Spherical Brane Model at Large $N$

hep-th · 2025-09-28 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Large-N saddle-point calculation confirms the Lukyanov-Zamolodchikov conjecture for boundary free energy in the spherical brane model to O(1/N) and connects it to the RG running of the coupling g.
