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.

  1. Yang-Mills Theory From Super Moduli Space

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A spinning superparticle world-line path integral pulled back to super moduli space yields a space-time action that is Yang-Mills theory up to boundary terms and non-local corrections.

  2. Yang-Mills Theory and the $\mathcal{N}=2$ Spinning Path Integral

    hep-th 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.
