Connection between non-Abelian tensor gauge fields and open strings

Abstract

We compare the structure of the tree level scattering amplitudes in non-Abelian tensor gauge field theory and in open string theory with Chan-Paton charges. We limit ourselves considering only lower rank tensor fields in both theories. We identify the symmetric and antisymmetric components of the second rank tensor gauge field with the string excitations on the third and forth levels. In the process of this identification we have been selecting only those parts of the tree level scattering amplitudes in the open string theory which have dimensionless coupling constants in four dimensions. It seems that this subclass of tree level scattering amplitudes may provide important information about the structure of the open string theory and most probably it is equivalent to the non-Abelian tensor gauge field theory.
