The authors' main claim We show that there exists a field redefinition which relates the gauge field and the tachyon of the string field theory action to the fields in the world volume action of unstable branes.

The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v2. Results and the main claim are underlined; show every role.

The naive low energy effective action of the tachyon and the U(1) gauge field obtained from string field theory does not correspond to the world volume action of unstable branes in bosonic string theory. We show that there exists a field redefinition which relates the gauge field and the tachyon of the string field theory action to the fields in the world volume action of unstable branes. We identify a string gauge symmetry which corresponds to the U(1) gauge transformation. This is done to the first non-linear order in the fields. We examine the vector fluctuations at the tachyon condensate till level (4,8).

In contrast BRST string field theory [ref] looks non Abelian even when the gauge group is U(1) although there are hints that field redefinitions can modify this feature [ref] .
