Chan-Paton factors and Higgsing from Vacuum String Field Theory
arXiv:hep-th/0506213 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2005/09/022
Abstract
We give a description of open strings stretched between N parallel D-branes in VSFT. We show how higgsing is generated as the branes are displaced: the shift in the mass formula for on-shell states stretched between different branes is due to a twist anomaly, a contribution localized at the midpoint.
