Light-Cone String Field Theory in a Plane Wave Background
Marcus Spradlin, Anastasia Volovich
These lecture notes present an elementary introduction to light-cone string field theory, with an emphasis on its application to the study of string interactions in the plane wave…

On the S-matrix of Type 0 String Theory
Oliver DeWolfe, Radu Roiban, Marcus Spradlin +2
The recent discovery of non-perturbatively stable two-dimensional string backgrounds and their dual matrix models allows the study of complete scattering matrices in string theory.…

Note on Plane Wave Quantum Mechanics
Marcus Spradlin, Anastasia Volovich
We study the quantum mechanics of BMN operators with two scalar impurities and arbitrarily many traces, at one loop and all genus. We prove an operator identity which partially elu…
