We show that given any two classical solutions in open string field theory and a singular gauge transformation relating them, it is possible to write the second solution as a gauge transformation of the first plus a singular, projector-like state which describes the shift in the open string background between the two solutions. This is the "phantom term." We give some applications in the computation of gauge invariant observables.

  1. Deriving on-shell open string field amplitudes without using Feynman rules

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    New gauge-invariant functionals of the open string field are shown to reproduce on-shell tree-level amplitudes around known D-brane backgrounds without using Feynman rules.
